Austrian-born and educated, R.M. Schindler laid the foundation for what now is considered California lifestyle of indoor-outdoor living. This documentary explores his richly complex work, with its influences and illuminates Schindler’s philosophy of Space Architecture as contrasted with the International Style. It reexamines Schindler’s complicated relationship with his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright and his rival Richard Neutra. The film affirms the singular genius of one man, and the eternal challenge every artist faces to stay true to their vision in an effort to leave a lasting impact. Featuring: architects Frank Gehry, Thom Mayne, Steven Holl, Ray Kappe, Mark Mack, Wolf Prix; arch. historians Judith Sheine, Thomas HInes, August Sarnitz; members of Schindler’s family, preservationists and owners of Schindler designed houses and many others.
