I saw Pierre Huyghe’s short film about Le Corbusier at his solo show at the Tate Modern a few years ago and it never stopped haunting me. It is sadly very hard to get your hands on it online but for those of you who have the patience, it’s well worth it. In my opinion, this is pretty much a flawless piece, narratively speaking as well as aesthetically.
