Bauhaus/Modernism in Films

Aeon Flux:



The Bauhaus museum designed by German architect Walter Gropius:

In Aeon Flux this structure, the Bauhaus museum, is the apartment complex where Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron) and her sister Una live in the fictional city of Bragna. The last surviving city on Planet Earth.

What I find interesting is this film made in 2005 'Aeon Flux' directed by Karyn Kusama, is that it talks about the year 2415. This dystopian film represents the future, using architecture from the Bauhaus and modernist period as its sets. An example that shouts out 'old is gold' and the future is in our past!
