在这部Mundo Salamone. La reinvención de la Pampa传记/纪录片片中,This film unveils the enigmatic story of Francisco Salamone, an architect-ingeneer who built more than 70 astonishing buildings (mostly town halls, cemeteries and slaughterhouses) between 1936 and 1940 at the Buenos Aires province during the administration of a pro-fascist governor. Academics, artists and common people we can call "salamonics" tell us the facts and theories they could get from the silence around these enigmatic art-deco towers. The testimony of Francisco's daughters, an exquisite music and a passionate research keep us hooked to this architectural quest.
The architecture of Argentinian architect Francisco Salamone has been compared to the film sets of Metropolis: eccentric and with a heightened sense of drama. Salamone's activities under his country's fascist regimes has cast a shadow on his vast body of work, but the unique architecture of this colourfull Argentinian architect is gradually being rediscovered. A fascinating road movie through the vast pampas of Argentina.
