Abstract :
This study has concentrated on the Role of Cinema on Critique of the Modern Urbanism. The theoretical framework of essay is designing architecture theory base on concept which is related to the way of semiotic , base on layered semiotic ( analyzing Film with syntagm layers: text ,context , intertextuality ,code , media) and Ervin Panofsky ‘s semiotic analyzing which has three periods: primitive understanding , background literature and hermeneutics. The research methods in this study are analytic and descriptive combination of qualitative (from case study to theory) and quantitative (from theory to case study) research. This study has analyzed some famous films by professional directors which their base concept was about criticizing modern movement. At first we analyzed the meaning of modernism, mechinism, semiology, and then genealogy of modern space creation in film and the way of determination of modern movement and their critique. The conclusion of the study is that the architecture is formed and created base on concept and cinema is one of the best critical tools of modern stream in architecture and urbanism. Cinema with black comedy genre, modern semiotic, city palimpsest, city nostalgia, utopia and distopia manifests these kind of meaning.
