#5 Vicky Cristina Barcelona
The audacious curves of Gaudì’s neo-gothic constructions are celebrated and mirrored in love triangle movie with amazing work of camera movement and cinematography.
As gothic architecture was centered on the idea of man reaching up to the skies in a simultaneous act of devotion and hubris, In some scenes camera often looks up with slow upward pans, as silent pleas to the sky.
#4 Matrix
Almost everyone has heard and watched this movie, which explores a new world beyond the dreams. Great job has been done in detailing of the Matrix. Both the dream world and the real world has been worked out brilliantly, with slow motion and wide angle shoots, cinematography of the movie is simply amazing and captures the detailed architecture of the movie.
#3 Holy Motors
Deserted cities of the heart: it is not just the title of a song by Cream, it is the empty churches, the empty halls, empty car parks, the empty industrial building in which Leos Carax set “Holy Motors”.
In a film that is about the nature of cinema, the nature of reality and the nature of the dream, the halls and the architectural spaces that Carax explores take the role of canvas where the human subjectivity can create its illusions and its creations.
#2 Inception
With physics-defying, thunderous action, heart-wringing emotion and an astonishing performance from DiCaprio, Nolan delivers another true original: welcome to an undiscovered country. The movie was shoot in 6 different countries, taking us to a dream world which only Nolan could have imagined. Cities shown in the dream sequences are beautiful and you feel out of the world with the amazing visual graphics.
#1 Bicycle Thieves
It’s a 1948 Italian film directed by Vittorio De Sica. The film follows the story of a poor father searching post-World War II Rome for his stolen bicycle, without which he will lose the job which was to be the salvation of his young family. The city and architecture has been shown amazingly which portrays the reality of the time.
