It is no surprise to anyone that cinema is capable of educating the public about different subjects, using resources such as the script, costumes, acting, photography and, subtly, also the setting where the work takes place.

In fact, the house, the streets and the city where the plot takes place directly influence the plot of the film, as in the film Parasite (2019). The residence where much of the story takes place features minimalist furniture and large expanses of glass, with plenty of natural light, typical of contemporary architecture . So, below, discover 5 architectural styles that were featured in 5 different films . 1. Art Nouveau: Midnight in Paris
Gil Pender is a young writer in search of fame. On vacation in Paris with his fiancée, he sets out alone to explore the city and meets a group of strangers who are, in fact, great names in literature, who take him on a journey back in time – straight to the 19th century , when Art Nouveau was emerging in Europe. With the aim of breaking the traditions imposed by the formal rigor of Academic Art, Art Nouveau is presented in architecture through asymmetrical and delicate curved lines, using nature as a source of inspiration, and is marked by the presence of stained glass windows and mosaics . In Paris, many of the Art Nouveau monuments were built for the 1900 World's Fair. Among them, the Eiffel Tower , the Pont Alexandre III, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais stand out, which present typical Art Nouveau characteristics , such as the use of metal in new techniques. 2. Contemporary: What Time Does She Get Back?
A contemporary architecture house located in the Morumbi neighborhood, in São Paulo, is where the plot of the Brazilian film “ Que Horas Ela Volta? ” takes place, starring Regina Casé . It is no wonder that this is a film that will always be classified as “current”, after all, contemporary is the style most commonly found in homes in the city of São Paulo .
