help Columbus FAQ
Why is architecture so important in Columbus?
Columbus is set in Columbus, Indiana, a city known for modernist architecture by figures such as Eero Saarinen and I. M. Pei. The buildings are not just scenery, because Casey and Jin use them to talk about family, ambition, and staying or leaving.
Who are the two main characters in Columbus?
John Cho plays Jin, the son of a hospitalized architecture scholar, and Haley Lu Richardson plays Casey, a library worker who loves architecture. Their relationship is intimate but mostly restrained and conversational rather than a conventional romance.
Is Columbus Kogonada's first feature film?
Yes. Columbus was the 2017 feature debut of Kogonada, who was already known for video essays about filmmakers such as Yasujirō Ozu.
What real buildings appear in Columbus?
The film features several Columbus landmarks, including First Christian Church, North Christian Church, Cleo Rogers Memorial Library, and the Miller House. Those sites connect the movie directly to Indiana's unusual concentration of modernist design.
