REM, the documentary by Rem Koolhaas's son, explores the architect’s life, working methods, philosophy, and internal landscape, from a never seen perspective of intimacy and immediacy. This point of view allows the viewer to understand Rem’s ideas in a way they couldn’t otherwise. These ideas are not merely explained as intellectual concepts but also in practice—the reality on the ground, fruition in concrete and metal. The film shows how these structures, some massive and some small, all over the world, affect every aspect of the lives of the people that built them, use them, and live inside them.
