Austrian-born and educated, R.M. Schindler laid the foundation for what is now considered the California lifestyle of indoor-outdoor living. This documentary explores his richly complex work and its influences, illuminates Schindler’s philosophy of Space Architecture as contrasted with the International Style, and reexamines Schindler’s complicated relationships with his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright and his rival Richard Neutra.
Featuring narration by Meryl Streep and voice acting by Udo Kier, Xander Berkeley, and Blake Lindsley,
Schindler Space Architect 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.
