  Deeply moving, the poignant and moving documentary I wanted about Louis Kahn, poet, philosopher, architect and inevitably, as a man. This one I will be looking into for strength as the years go by. Louis Kahn's spirit is alive with it!

  I'm sorry, but this was just too long and extremely uninteresting. Yes, Louis Kahn was a great architect, but it doesn't mean he is warranted a complete psychological analysis post-mortem. I feel bad for his son, but it doesn't mean I want to spend two hours with him… More
  I'm sorry, but this was just too long and extremely uninteresting. Yes, Louis Kahn was a great architect, but it doesn't mean he is warranted a complete psychological analysis post-mortem. I feel bad for his son, but it doesn't mean I want to spend two hours with him sorting out his daddy issues.

  [font=Century Gothic]"My Architect: A Son's Journey" is a documentary by and about Nathaniel Kahn on an emotional odyssey seeking to understand his father, Louis Kahn, who died at the age of 73, bankrupt, of a heart attack in a bathroom in Penn Station, New York City on the way back from India. At the time, Nathaniel was 11. Louis Kahn was an acclaimed architect. He also had three separate families. Throughout the film, Nathaniel talks to family members, former colleagues and cab drivers who all recall his father.[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]"My Architect: A Son's Journey" is about what we leave behind after we die. Louis Kahn left behind more than most. This includes not only the fabulous buildings that he helped build(and one very, very cool boat), but also the three families and the three women who loved him.

  Terribly dull at times. Frankly, this man shouldn't be sharing his architect.

  Interesting documentary about the illegitimate son of famous architect Louis Kahn, rediscovering the father he barely knew through interviews with former colleagues and family and the buildings he created. It didn't really translate the genius of Kahns work - to me, most of his designs looked dull and monolithic (though I'm a Gaudi fan, so what do you expect), but the son's journey of discovery kept me interested. <img src="http://theartjournal.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/homeimage1.jpg">

  A son's quest to know his father, architect Louis I. Khan, as a man and as an artist. His father was often absent as Nathaniel and his mom were the other family. The result is a great documentary as Nathaniel Khan is able to become impartial enough to give us fascinating glimpses into how others saw his father, not always flattering, but most often told with great passion. A great blend of personal history as well as an overview of Kahn's distinguished career, as Nathaniel travels around the world visitng the buildings his father built.

  Smooth documentary.It's basically a bio-pic docu regards to a strictly experimental and somehow responsible even with his son's complaint family man/mastermind architect.His wives and children as well as his architecture passion,all those references and mass encyclopedic details make this documentary more like an homage rather a true access to one's influential retrospective.A brisk shuffling yet his son clearly adores his father along with his bitterness towards his parental duties.
