Un docufilm d’avanguardia con un’anima sperimentale e contemporanea di gran qualità oltre al merito di rendere non più invisibile lo straordinaria meraviglia dell’architettura e del design pensato da Eileen Gray. Quella casa sul mare di cui Le Corbusier si ossessionò al punto di volerla cancellare nel suo spirito innovatore prima con la pittura e poi con la menzogna. Una storia del potere incontrastato dell’ego del successo, di una supremazia maschile nelle professioni e nelle arti. All’nterno della casa E.1027 sulla Costa Azzurra Eileen Gray il suo compagno Jean Badovici e Le Corbusier in una interpretazione magistrale e in una regia che restituisce al mondo l’arte e la vita di Eileen Gray. Al CPH.DOX 2024, a Copenaghen, E.1027, Elieen Gray and The House By The Sea. “Three strong characters and a house: That’s the setting for this fabulous film that stunningly marries documentary and fiction. Eileen Gray was a creative genius and the first woman to conquer the territory of architecture at a time when men controlled it all. The filmmakers take a deep bow to the great designer Eileen Gray – and leave some deep scratches on the monument of iconic modernist architect Le Corbusier. This is a piece of intelligent cinema entertainment that should resonate with buyers in many markets. We are thrilled to be representing it with Rise and Shine World Sales.” – Rise and Shine´s managing director, Stefan Kloos – (m.g.)

E.1027 – EILEEN GRAY AND THE HOUSE BY THE SEA reconstructs the dramatic story of Eileen Gray and her stunningly beautiful house.

This stylish hybrid documentary about iconic artist and architect Eileen Gray, who built her modernist dream house on the Riviera, only to be upstaged by Le Corbusier also brings to life conflicting undercurrents in the Parisian art scene of the 1930s. The inspiration from design icon Eileen Gray is present in lines, colours and shapes and also serves the narrative of a brilliant female artist who spent a long life in the shadow of her male colleagues.
Synopsis
A cinematic journey into the mind of Eileen Gray. The Irish designer builds a refuge on the Côte d’Azur in 1929. Her first house is a discrete, avant-garde masterpiece. She names it E.1027, a cryptic marriage of her initials and those of Jean Badovici, with whom she built it. Le Corbusier, upon discovering the house, becomes intrigued, obsessed. He covers the walls with murals and publishes photos of them. Gray describes these paintings as vandalism and demands restitution. He ignores her wishes and instead builds his famous Cabanon directly behind E.1027, which dominates the narrative of the site to this day. A story about the power of female expression, and men’s desire to control it.
