Director Wim Wenders’ 3D documentary “From Inside Out: The Architecture of Peter Zumthor” has its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The film focuses on the work of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor, with particular attention to the design and construction of the David Geffen Galleries at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
Both outlets describe the project as the result of an extended process: one source highlights a 14-year journey to develop the documentary, while another frames the film as Wenders’ explanation for making it and what he seeks to capture through 3D. The Hollywood Reporter also emphasizes the film’s thematic stance on “beauty” in contemporary urban life, while Variety concentrates more on the film’s subject matter, including Zumthor’s architectural approach and the LACMA commission. The coverage does not indicate major disagreements about the film’s basic scope or focus.
