Summary:

In a two-part documentary, Jonathan Meades makes the case for 20th-century concrete Brutalist architecture, which is once again being appreciated by a younger generation. In the second part, he focuses on the massive influence of Le Corbusier's post-war work and reclaims the reputation of buildings that, once much maligned, arguably stood for optimism and grandeur. Delivered in his signature provocative and confrontational manner, Meades' film draws on extraordinary buildings from all over Europe in a lavish, sometimes surreal, visual collage.
