Sullivan's Banks

Called the "father of modernism," Chicago-based architect Louis Sullivan is the subject of this documentary that showcases the majesty of eight banks he designed for small towns throughout the heartland of America. Collectively known as the "Jewel Boxes," the construction of the ornate buildings helped cement Sullivan's reputation as a true master of merging form and function. 90 min.
