Police Station


There's a shot of the police HQ (I assume) from the outside at one point in the film. I can't work out whether it's the architecture that gives it a strange, almost wobbly appearance - or a trick of the lens/light. Either way, it's remarkable.

Anybody know if it's a real building and if so whether it still exists?

I wish I knew where it is, too. The building looks like it's about to fall apart at any time. That's not a camera trick, the building is really like that. It looks like something Gaudi would have built.

This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.

it's a really cool building. I was thinking it looked like the sort of building Frank Gehry would design.

if you're not familiar with Frank Gehry, look him up to see some really wild architecture

Thank you so much. I'd forgotten about this and it was only when recently going through a stack of DVDs at home that it came back to me.

If ever you need an obscure building located and I can return the favour!
