The Fall and Rise of Mackintosh
The reputation of the great Glasgow builder Charles Rennie Mackintosh, designer of the Glasgow School of Art, the so-called `first building of the modern movement,' had fallen so low twenty-five years ago, when film-maker Murray Grigor helped to found the `Friends of Toshie' society, that few of the city's inhabitants even knew his name - as Grigor established when he conducted a vox pop in George Square. But today, sixty years after his death, Mackintosh is a real force in world architecture and design. How has this revolution come about? And is there a danger that the real genius of Mackintosh's style will be crushed beneath a modern avalanche of pastiche and parody? This film highlights the restoration of Mackintosh's work (as well as his reputation), including the painstaking recreation of Glasgow's Miss Cranston's Tea Rooms.
