REVIEWS ”A gentle, beautiful film that lingers over images of gardens and details of buildings.” THE AGE ”Unhurried and often beautiful. It draws the watcher in. Mesmerising!” THE AUSTRALIAN ”A film about architecture could leave a forebrain stifled. That KOCHUU does nothing of the kind speaks to the iridescence of its light, shapes and colors, as well as its profusion and juxtaposition of ideas." ASIAN WEEKLY ABOUT THE FILM A film about modern Japanese architecture, its roots in the Japanese tradition and its impact on the Nordic building-tradition. Winding its way through visions of the future, traditions, nature, concrete, gardens and high-tech, KOCHUU tells us how contemporary Japanese architects strive to unite the ways of modern man with the old philosophies in astounding constructions. Interviews with, and works by, Japanese architects Tadad Ando, Kisho Kurokawa, Toyo Ito and Kazuo Shinohara and Scandinavian architects Sverre Fehn, Kristian Gullichsen and Juhani Pallasmaa.
