Fallingwater, the Edgar J. Kaufmann house, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1934 and 1937. Considered the greatest American house of this century, it is sited on a spectacular waterfall in Mill Run, Pennsylvania. The remarkable history of Wright’s masterpiece is presented in this hour long documentary, which premiered at the Museum of Modern Art. Fallingwater features rare home movies of Mr. Wright and Mr. Kaufmann and describes in detail the extraordinary building as well as the events that led to Mr. Wright’s commission. Based on an extensive interview with the client’s son, who was also a Wright apprentice, Fallingwater is the definitive film on the greatest creation of America’s greatest architect.
