I started watching this because of a post in this community and it's now one of my top five films ever.

Poems benefit from being read aloud in a way that most prose doesn't. Rhyme and rhythm are physical.

I want to add that the costume design in this film is doing exactly what you're describing for the architecture.

I wrote a 2,000-word Letterboxd review of this film and this single comment covers the important parts.
