French Film Club: Goodbye First Love and Kastrup Sea Bath by White Architect

A beautiful semi-autobiographical French film directed by Mia Hansen-Løve, starring Lola Créton, Sebastian Urzendowsky and Magne-Håvard Brekke. It tells the bittersweet story of a young couple, Camille and Sullivan, two Parisian teenagers whose relationship blossoms between school afternoons and summer holidays in the hazy and romantic Loire Valley. But Sullivan soon travels to South America, leaving Camille behind at school, where she goes on to study architecture after picking up a Le Corbusier book on Le Modular. Ticking away throughout the film are some stunning and subtle architectural backdrops; from the famous Bauhaus building in Dessau to the Danish Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, as well as one of my favourite scenes which was beautifully shot on a folly off the coast of Copenhagen (the Kastrup Sea Baths by White Architect, images below).
