| Summary |
"Frank Lloyd Wright is America’s most celebrated modern architect. He designed more than 400 buildings during his prolific 60-year career, but perhaps his most revealing structures are his revolutionary houses that sparked the trend to open-plan design and served as the roots of contemporary organic architecture. While his houses were shrines to calm order, his personal life was a different story. His mistress and her two children were brutally murdered in 1914, then a fire destroyed his pride and joy - his house known as Taliesin. Unable to abandon it, he set about rebuilding it unaware that the project would dominate his imagination for the next four decades. Interviews with his contemporaries emphasis an image of the man as unpredictable eccentric, brilliant artist and shrewd businessman as the documentary goes on to investigate the many aspects of his legend." -- STVDIO website |
