"When the great architect Louis Kahn died of a heart attack in 1974, bankrupt and alone in a men's room in New York City, he left behind a shadowy private life and luminous buildings of lasting beauty. His mourners included not only his wife and daughter but the two children he had by women in long-term, clandestine relationships.
Kahn's only son, Nathaniel, was then 11 years old; some 25 years later, as a filmmaker, he set out to discover the man he glimpsed only fleetingly in childhood. The result is this remarkable film, an inspired homage to his father's work, and a bracing, bittersweet testament of filial love mixed with pain and compassion."
A number of architects have commented that this is a must see film.
