HU (HU Enigma)Rio Film Season

5 May to 3 August 2012 V22 F Block

Pedro Urano and Joana Traub Cseko’s documentary HU (HU Enigma) (2011) is a meditation on architecture and the human condition. The film is a cinematic portrait of the University Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, a structure that embodies a modernist utopian ideal and its subsequent ruin. Urano's camera alternates between fluidity and stasis, juxtaposing tableaus of decay with the daily activity of a working hospital.
