Sketches of Frank Gehry (2005)

I am probably the least competent man in the world to give opinions about architecture, except, since buildings affect places that belong to all people, I am probably the most competent man in the world to give opinions about architecture. Anyway, being the favorite architect of Hollywood stars says much about someone. And the great and depressing truth that this documentary shows is that much of the world has become a cultural extension of Hollywood. One of the buildings is described as "an object from outer space that has descended upon the city" -- enough said.
