I just watched this for my first time two nights ago. I have to say, while in the past I have chosen to look the other way, as of late my interest in his work has grown. So, I got the DVD and gave it a spin.

I am truly a full convert. I am now a fan. This is one of the many reasons I love documentaries ... sometimes they really are necessary to get into a person's "space" and process.

A couple of his buildings are overwhelming and otherworldly.

Hey, speaking of loving documentaries, can I just add one additional recommendation: Sherman's March, by Ross McElwee, 1986.
Oh, and because it's seemed to be a DA thorn of late, to try to keep this innocent puppy design-related, here's a quote from MOMA:
"For the past twenty-five years, Ross McElwee has given new meaning and flair to first-person non-fiction cinema. Always wise and irreverent, ever the unreliable narrator, McElwee makes the grandest theme of human comedy his artistic province: love and death, chance and fate, memory and denial, the marvelous and the appalling."
