A couple of years ago, a man at the airport asked us if it would be possible to see the Frank Gehry-designed Weisman Museum during his ninety-minute layover. We cringed in shame; given the sorry state of our mass transit system, ninety minutes would never get him there and back, much less offer time to explore the museum. But he just wanted to see the building, he said; he’d heard it was wonderful. And it is. Lest we locals stop seeing this marvel, here’s a film to remind us how lucky we are to have it here. Director Sydney Pollack chases his good friend Gehry around several of the architect’s shining creations, and explores the mind that gave shape to so many weird yet marvelous buildings.
