Frank Lloyd Wright tells the story of the greatest of all American architects. Wright was an authentic American genius, a man who believed he was destined to redesign the world, creating everything anew. Over the course of his long career, he designed over eight hundred buildings, including such revolutionary structures as the Guggenheim Museum, the Johnson Wax Building, Fallingwater, Unity Temple and Taliesin. His buildings and his ideas changed the way we live, work and see the world around us.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural achievements were often overshadowed by the turbulence of his melodramatic life. In ninety-two tempestuous years, he fathered seven children, married three times, and was almost constantly embroiled in scandal. Some hated him, some loved him, and in the end, few could deny that he was the one of the most important architects in the world.

Matériaux, principes constructifs de la Modernité... ses plus grands projets sont abordés : la maison sur la cascade, Usoninan houses, Taliesin houses, ses synagogues et bien entendu son chef d’oeuvre, le musée Guggenheim de New-York. Véritable biographie de l’artiste, le film évoque également les difficultés de sa vie privée, qui ne l’empêchèrent pas de s’affirmer comme l’un des plus grands architectes américains du XXe siècle.
