About This Movie

The Great Arch is a 2025 drama and history film directed by Stéphane Demoustier. Its leading cast includes Claes Bang, Xavier Dolan and Swann Arlaud. It runs for 1 hour 44 minutes. Its original language is French.

Synopsis

France, 1983. The biggest architectural competition in history is launched by the new socialist president, François Mitterrand. Coveted by all the biggest international architectural firms, the open-call competition is surprisingly won by an unknown: Johan Otto von Spreckelsen, an architecture teacher from Copenhagen. Until then, the fifty-year-old Dane had built only four buildings: his home, and three small chapels.
