When a renowned architecture scholar collapses shortly before giving a talk in Columbus, Indiana (noted for its architectures), the son (John Cho) reluctantly shows up to pay last respects. But the father lingers, and the son becomes trapped in Columbus, waiting for resolution. There he meets a young woman (a local) fascinated by architecture but also stuck in Columbus due to mother issues. She takes him on nighttime wanderings of Columbus, showing him the notable architectures, and as they contemplate these, they slowly share and face their personal demons.
Slow-moving, melancholic, a meditation on life, family, devotion, and the choices we make.
Not really recommending this for Doom, though I did enjoy it. It captures the small-town atmosphere of Indiana, especially at night, and the denizens who work nights, which I did in my time. The director Kogonada relies on long but simple shots, whether fixed or dollied, but puts tremendous effort into composition, which resonates well with the architecture motif.
