Spect.Viewers are captivated by 'The Great Arch,' a film that delves into the dramatic and political complexities of a monumental architectural project in Paris. The film is praised for its historical depth, strong performances, and the poignant portrayal of an architect's struggle against bureaucratic and political obstacles. However, some viewers felt the film was overly guided, lacking in imagination, and sometimes slow, with a focus that might be too narrow for those interested in broader historical or technical contexts.
👍 Strong performances and historical depth

Synopsis
1983. The biggest architectural competition in history, both anonymous and open, is launched under the impetus of a new socialist president, François Mitterrand. Coveted by all the biggest international architectural firms, the competition is surprisingly won by an unknown: Johan Otto von Spreckelsen, an architecture teacher from Copenhagen. Until then, the fifty-year-old Danish had only built 4 buildings: his home and three small chapels.

Je me suis ennuyée. L’histoire ne m’a pas passionnée. Mise en scène plate.
Sympa
Excellent film sur une histoire méconnue. La passion d’un homme pour son œuvre qui ne veux aucune compromission, quête d’absolu. Les compromis politiques et absurdités administratives auxquels il se heurte.
Mouaif Histoire intéressante mais pas assez travaillé UGC Odeon
