About This Movie

It’s almost meditative in its pacing, blending interviews, archival footage, and Kahn’s stunning buildings. You really get a sense of Nathaniel’s yearning and the weight of legacy. The film has this mournful quality, as it explores identity, abandonment, and the quest for understanding.
