After watching this documentary I'm left wondering why it got such good reviews. It seems as much focused on the storyteller (the architect's son) as the architect who's supposedly its focus (Louis Khan). And the picture it paints of both of men is an once incomplete and far from flattering. If the focus was on was supposed to be on their lives, I wasn't left with much in the way of interesting, meaningful insights. And if the focus was supposed to be on Khan's work, there was far too little of that. Still, it did at least offer views of some lovely designs, including two breathtaking pieces of Khan's work - the Salk Institute in La Jolla and the magnificent government center in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
