There is an architectural quality to Jill Magid's debut feature.Appropriate since it is about architect Luis Barragán.Not that that has stopped bio-docs about artists before lacking an ounce of artistry,but Magid has transferred her talents over well to the cinematic artform;among all of the wonderful things thatThe Proposalhas going for it,it's one of the most beautiful documentaries of the year.
This is hardly surprising given cinematographer Jarred Alterman is one of the most exciting names in the field and whose work onBisbee '17andContemporary Colorwere among those films' most valuable assets.

Barragán,who died in 1988,remains Mexico's most celebrated and acclaimed architect and with this film it is not hard to see why."The artist among architects",he was called.
