Film Synopsis | A love triangle in the Parisian art scene of the 1930s is brought to life in this stylish docufiction about iconic Irish artist and architect Eileen Gray, who built her modernist dream house on the Riviera, only to be upstaged by Le Corbusier. Gray created some of the most iconic furniture of the 20th century, and when she focussed her unique artistic vision on developing a house, named E.1027, for herself and her lover, Romanian architect Jean Badovici, on the Riviera in 1929, the result was a modernist triumph. But when the Swiss-French star architect Le Corbusier learns of the house, he became obsessed and increasingly jealous of Gray’s achievement. The film reconstructs the dramatic story of Gray and the house that Le Corbusier amazingly managed to convince the world he had built himself. Notes by David O’Mahony.

"

It’s safe to say design is a realm rarely associated with this storied little island of ours. A luminary in that field – and a female one, at that – such as Gray should be spotlit at any occasion, not least for the attempts to erase her from history. She’d approve of a tribute such as this, what with its stark but elliptical manoeuvres, its grace of form and composition, and the way in which it seems at once modern but somehow lived in
