Description
Summary:[EN] In 2009, Argentine directors Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat shot one of their most representative films, El hombre de al lado, at the famous Curutchet House in La Plata. An amusing comedy ¿sprinkled with dramatic overtones¿ in which the essence of two opposing realities are confronted: on the one hand, that of Victor, a used car salesman who opens a hole in the Curutchet¿s party wall to get light into his house; and on the other hand, that of Leonardo, a fine and prestigious designer who, together with his wife and daughter, lived in Le Corbusier¿s house at the time. Thus, using this project, the text connects some of the echoes of Le Corbusier¿s architecture ¿such as the piloti, the Modulor, the light, the colour or the tactile, always present in the master¿s work¿ with certain shots in the film. All this, with the sole purpose of revealing some of its key aspects and thus relate them to the usual behaviour of Le Corbusier at the forefront of his projects.
