Anyone watched " My Architect" movie about Louis I Kahn

[muzzy]

Louis Kahn's son, Nathaniniel, made a documentary about his father. His starting idea was very interesting. His son Nathaniel was 11 years old, when Kahn died. His son says everyone knows my father better than me. He wanted know more about his father and did this movie.

 

It is shown in limited theaters. I have to drive 120 miles to watch this. Anyone has watched it ? Is it worth ?

 

Short description about it...

 

My Architect, Documentary

1 hr. 56 min. In this documentary, Nathaniel Kahn examines the life and career of his father, Philadelphia architect Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974), whose work included the Salk Institute and the Parliament and Capitol Buildings in Dhaka, Bangladesh, before dying of a heart attack in a Penn Station bathroom in 1974, unidentified and broke despite having been one of the century's most influential architects. Louis Kahn also led three different personal lives, with three different families, fathering a daughter with his wife, and a child each by two other lovers (one of whom was the mother of Nathaniel, who was 11 when his father died).
