Lichtdurchflutete organische Bauten, hohe Decken, schwungvolle Sessel aus Holz und Leder sowie formschöne Messinglampen: All dies war Teil des Werkes des finnischen Star-Architekten und Designers Alvar Aalto. Der Baumeister gilt als der Vater des Modernismus. Doch wer der Mann namens Alvar Aalto – und wer die beiden Frauen, mit denen er sein Leben und sein Schaffen teilte? (arte)

Kritiken (1)
Perhaps too academic and detached a documentary for some, but I fear that in the case of Aalto – a privileged, increasingly withdrawn and egocentric architect – the tendentious method of "success against all odds" would hardly apply. However hard the author tries to weave women's roles into his work. With a wealth of excellent period material and snippets of old interviews to accompany it, the documentary comes across as surprisingly unfulfilled, melancholic, and fatalistic. This is helped by Sanna Salmenkallio's excellent (and very familiar, to connoisseurs of Michael Nyman, for example) score.
