              Overview

              The Irish artist, Eileen Gray, created some of the most iconic furniture of the 20th century, so when she focussed her unique artistic vision on developing a house for herself on the Riviera in 1929, the result was a modernist triumph. Director Beatrice Minger reconstructs the dramatic story of Gray and the house that Le Corbusier amazingly managed to convince the world he had built himself.

              A stunningly beautiful and cinematic docufiction where the inspiration from Gray is present in lines, colours and shapes – but where they serve the narrative of a brilliant female artist who spent a long life in the shadow of her male colleagues.
