    I've wonder if this was in any way inspired by the architecture competition that ultimately become the St. Louis Gateway Arch.

    From wikipedia: "When Saarinen won the competition, the official notification was sent to "E. Saarinen", thinking it to be the architect's father Eliel Saarinen, who had also submitted an entry. The family celebrated with a bottle of champagne, and two hours later an embarrassed official called to say the winner was, in fact, the younger Saarinen. "

    Fascinating psychological drama depicting the cold relationship between a father and his son. Although it is set among the Hebrew community, it could very easily be applied to any sector of any community. The quick edits and intense close-ups help the viewer to feel the intensity of the feelings of the characters without the dialog having to explicitly express it. Very well done. 10 years 2 months ago
