M B @MBeatrix 6h Schindler – Space Architect is a compelling and elegantly constructed documentary that brings renewed attention to Rudolph Schindler—one of the most influential figures of modernist architecture. Director Valentina Ganeva vividly evokes 1930s Los Angeles, situating Schindler’s radical spatial ideas within a cultural moment that feels both historically precise and strikingly contemporary. Rich in archival material and intellectually stimulating, the film deftly bridges past and present. Insightful interviews with leading architects, including Frank Gehry - among many others - underscore the enduring relevance of Schindler’s thinking and its profound influence on architectural practice today. Thoughtful, visually engaging, and deeply rewarding, Schindler – Space Architect is an essential film for anyone interested in architecture, design, and the evolution of modern space.

See more Kaat D @KaatDJ 6d Absolutely loved this documentary with great archival material and interviews trying to capture the spirit of mid century architect Rudolph Schindler and a broader sensibility that focused on a greater wellbeing and aesthetically approach in the society. See more Debra S @daspark 6d I have been writing about home and design for years, so developed a fascination with this architect after writing about one of his homes. This documentary is FANTASTIC. Expertly and engagingly constructed, with fantastic visuals, and amazing interviews with Schindler's surviving relatives, Frank Gehry (before he died last week, of course), and other luminaries. It's short--just 93 minutes--and super interesting. I wish there were a film like this for all my favorite architects!!

With unfettered access to his portfolio of properties, the audience is treated to a curated array of archival footage, photos, handwritten letters, including interviews from historians and modern-day architectural elites. Further complementing this cinematic journey is the score by Mark Tschanz, who weaves a multi-instrumentalist soundscape. This, alongside the immersive voice talents of narrator - Meryl Streep, in addition to Udo Kier, Xander Berkeley, and Blake Lindsley, bringing significance to interconnected associations within Schindler Space Architect. See more Steven V @sv024 Dec 10 An intimate, heart-breaking story of an artist ahead of his time is crafted and expertly narrated by Meryl Streep. In her work, V. Ganeva poses a urgent reminder that is especially relevant today that while power structures shape dominant narratives; in the end, the truth of art will prevail. See more Read all reviews
