Justice for #1 bohemian horn dog Schindler. I left impressed with the patience and thoughtfulness of the narrative, and excited to see Schindler spaces in person. Exactly what you want out of an architectural documentary. ADFF Chicago

Kings Road House 🔛🔝Great storytelling here. Really appreciated how it discussed Schindler’s design philosophy very clearly through his projects, and how his projects changed (and remained the same) as his life progressed. Felt very succinct throughout without over or under explaining certain points or technicalities. The presentation was also very well done, beautifully shot visuals accompanied with archival material and interviews, as well as a compelling soundtrack, really make this the whole package.
