RADFF26: The Great Arch PG

In 1982, President François Mitterrand launched an international competition to design the flagship project of his term: a building to match and complement the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe. To the surprise of everyone, the commission is won by an unknown 53-year-old from Copenhagen, Johan Otto von Spreckelsen. Inspired by remarkable true events, Claes Bang leads a superb ensemble cast in this historical drama, as an idealistic architect whose quest to build an ambitious landmark in Paris triggers unforeseen consequences.
