[[File:Frodo_in_Rivendell_in_Peter_Jackson's_FOTR.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|In [[Peter Jackson]]'s 2001 film ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring|The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', Rivendell is romantically conceived, with sophisticated culture. The "[[John Ruskin|post-Ruskinian]]" style does not match Tolkien's own illustrations. Some have claimed it represented his dislike of industrialised manufacture.{{sfn|Rosebury|2003|pp=212–213}}]]

In [[Peter Jackson]]'s 2001 film ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring|The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', Rivendell was represented by [[Kaitoke Regional Park]], [[New Zealand]], though the waterfalls were added with [[computer-generated imagery]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Kaitoke Regional Park, Wellington, New Zealand |url=https://www.newzealand.com/my/feature/kaitoke-regional-park/  |website=Newzealand.com |access-date=15 January 2020}}</ref> [[Brian Rosebury]] comments that Jackson presents the Elves as sophisticated, where Tolkien made them close to nature. All the same, he writes, the film Rivendell's "architecture and ornaments are dominated by natural motifs", suggesting "integration with nature, but at one remove", something that works well for the "[[Portmeirion]]-like idyll" of the portrayed Rivendell. Rosebury describes the design as "[[John Ruskin|post-Ruskinian]]", as in [[pre-Raphaelite]] paintings, [[William Morris]]'s [[Arts and Crafts]] designs, and [[Art Nouveau]] architectural details. These differ from [[Tolkien's artwork|Tolkien's own illustrations]], but in a way, Rosebury suggests, that Tolkien would have liked as it matches his dislike of industrialised manufacture.{{sfn|Rosebury|2003|pp=212–213}}
