My Architect: A Son's Journey
Rating = B
Nathaniel Kahn
is the illegitimate son of the famous architect Louis Kahn who died
at age 73 when Nathaniel was six years old. The movie is the story
of Nathaniel's search to learn: about his father and his
architecture, why the architect never came to live with Nathaniel and
his mother Harriet, and about the rest of his “family” — Louis's
wife Easter and daughter Sue Ann and other illegitimate daughter
Alex(andra) and her mother Anne. It is a sad story, but coming to
grips with it apparently does Nathaniel some good.
