Two octogenarian masters and icons of the New German Cinema bring their film to this year’s Venice Film Festival. It is also intriguing that Werner Herzog, who made a landmark 3D documentary, appears in this latest 3D documentary by Wim Wenders, produced by Brad Pitt. This documentary on Peter Zumthor, a master of contemporary architecture, visits 16 of his projects, including works still under construction and unfinished projects. Through Zumthor’s past and present reflections, it explores sources and origins, as well as philosophy, history, nature, poetry, and stories. Having previously made a 3D documentary about the two artists, Wenders expands his ‘immersive documentary’ to a larger spatial realm. This film is an experience of looking at, walking through, living in, and simply existing within space. Despite the privilege of being able to create space, Zumthor says, “Houses should be made by people. There is nothing more pleasurable than seeing traces left by people’s touch.” Like a project unfolding in a slow pace, he walks slowly through this documentary, and the audience cannot help but admire and grow fond of him.
