Brasilia

It is astonishing to see to which degree the sequences of persons can look like real scenes of fiction. The inhabitants of Brasilia – most of them are officials – run around from one office to another without wearing a jacket. In their shirtsleeves they look like men of action. Showing them from a distance makes them look like small puppets placed in a scale model replica of the city. The cars seem to be toys. The changing of the street scenes, or the close-up takes return the inhabitants their individuality but at the same time they maintain a fictional quality.
