E.1027 – Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea

In an era when art and design were rapidly evolving, the Parisian scene of the 1930s serves as the backdrop for this stylish docufiction that delves into the complex relationships and jealousies surrounding the legendary artist and architect Eileen Gray. The film explores her groundbreaking creation - a modernist dream house built along the Riviera's picturesque coastline. However, it is not just Gray's architectural feat that takes center stage, but also her personal battle against the shadow cast by Le Corbusier who would ultimately upstage her work. This intriguing narrative not only captures the artistic rivalry between these two icons but also uncovers their individual journeys, the impact of societal norms on women in the arts, and the often-fraught nature of creative collaboration.
