‘E1027 Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea,’ About the Pioneering Architect’s Battle With Le Corbusier, Boarded by Rise and Shine (EXCLUSIVE)
Rise and Shine has picked up world sales rights to 'E.1027 – Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea,' which makes its world premiere at CPH:DOX.
Mixing archival footage and re-created scenes, this hybrid doc narrated in the first person takes viewers on a journey into the mind of Eileen Gray, a woman making her mark in a man’s world and one of the leading lights of modernist architecture. Considered a masterpiece of architecture, built in Gray’s signature sober and elegant style, the house is at the center of the narrative: when he saw it, world-famous architect Le Corbusier, a friend of Badovici, became obsessed with it, eventually covering up its white walls with his own sexually graphic paintings. With Natalie Radmall-Quirke in the role of Gray, Axel Moustache as Badovici, and Charles Morillon as Le Corbusier, the film is produced by Das Kollektiv für audiovisuelle Werke and Soap Factory, in co-production with Swiss Radio and Television, RTS, SRG SSR, and with the participation of ARTE GEIE.
