VHS Movie Reviews of Frank Lloyd Wright - A film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick [VHS]
Movie Review: A Great Exploration of the Life, Trials, and Accomplishments
Summary: 5 Stars
I only got to see the last hour of the movie, but overall, it was well written. I especially like the aspect of the movie that deals with Frank Lloyd Wrights flaws in his buildings. It shows that no matter how much genius a person has, they still make mistakes. It gives a very factual account of his visions and buildings, including the acclaimed "Fallingwater." The movie intertwines his architectural accomplishments as well as his personal life, making this a very interesting combination. Anybody who watches this film will get a good idea of how Frank Lloyd Wright operated throughtout his more than 9 decade lifetime. I would strongly recommend that anyone interested in art or architecture watch this movie!Movie Review: meandering and mediocre treatment of a American legend
Summary: 2 Stars
A meandering and mediocre treatment of an American legend...with too much time spent on the symbolism, exposition, sidetracks and not enough on the subject...Wright & His Architecture. Burns work has steadily gone downhill since The Civil War. Did he produce this piece for passion or pay?Movie Review: A great documentary of an architectual genius (and odd guy)
Summary: 5 Stars
Ken Burns (the primary contributor to this film) did a awesome job capturing the beauty and magnificence of Wright's various creations. The first half of the film talks about Wright's early creations -- the second half focuses on the most productive time of Wright's career (after his 60s ). The Waterfall house, the Johnson Wax building, the Gugenheim...wonderful footage of wonderful places. The most illuminating part of the video, however, is the look into Wright's personal life...an aspect of Wright that is often glossed over.
