Berlin-based Rise and Shine World Sales has picked up the rights for “E.1027 – Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea,” which is vying for the top Dox:Award at Copenhagen’s Cph:dox, one of Europe’s leading documentary festivals. Variety is debuting the trailer and poster, below.
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.
It opens in the house that she built in Southern France between 1926 and 1929 together with fellow architect, Jean Badovici, her lover at the time. The name of the house, E.1027, is a cryptic marriage of their initials.
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,...

It’s very easy to misread the title of Victor Kossakovsky’s latest documentary as “Architection,” since it is, in some ways, a detective story about the world we live in, albeit one in which it is very easy to figure out whodunit (spoiler: we did it to ourselves). The actual title, Architecton, is a Greek word that means “master builder,” and the film plays with the irony of what that may mean — pitting the “master builders” of yesteryear against the “master builders“ of today — from the very beginning, using a cryptic line from “L’aquilone,” a rumination on bygone times by Italian poet Giovanni Pascoli (1855-1912). “There is something new within the sun today, or rather ancient,” he writes. This fascinating, engrossing film interrogates the subtext of this seemingly paradoxical statement.

Fasten your seat belts and put your flashiest sunglasses on before boarding on Uri Marantz' train to the glitzy world of drug-fuelled funfair based on a true story about a man who got away with it all. Before you get tempted to draw any parallels to Walter White, a loveable but fictive character created for the popular TV series “Breaking Bad” starring the one and only Brian Cranston, hold your horses: the man whose name was changed to Gabi (Oshri Cohen) to protect his identity, is really like you and me. Furthermore, unlike Walter, he didn't find a way and means to produce a known drug to earn a significant amount of cash, instead he invented a legal psychoactive drug from Cathinonec, a completely new substance, through his knowledge of chemistry and the need to feed his own personal beast.

A raucous Indian wedding brass band draws the audience to their seats at St. Ann’s Warehouse, heralding the start of Monsoon Wedding. As you might expect, despite some last-minute detours and the spilling of unexpected secrets, all’s well that ends well in a swirl of marigold and crimson, exuberant dance, and the cathartic deluge promised by the title.
The stage musical is the new incarnation of Mira Nair’s 2001 movie of the same name. Nair, who also directs this eye-catching production, rose to fame in 1988 with Salaam Bombay!, an unflinching look at street kid life in Bombay. Since then, She’s enjoyed a distinguished filmmaking career with such works as Mississippi Masala, The Namesake, and Vanity Fair.
I recently spoke with Nair about the importance of bringing her most popular movie to the stage, its unique marriage of styles, and more.

If you are artistically inclined, here’s a challenge for you. Design the dining area of a spaceship for a working class, blue-collar crew but, and here’s the catch, it can look nothing like the dining area of the commercial towing vehicle Uscss Nostromo. Let us know how many drafts you get through.
It is a look that is so ubiquitous in spaceship design that we barely even register it anymore, and yet it is also completely distinctive. Whereas before Ridley Scott‘s Alien we had seen spaceships as naval ships, wagon trains, and disheveled Vw camper vans, with the Nostromo we were introduced to the spaceship as a long-distance truck, as an ocean tanker, and as an oil rig. And like the titular alien star-beast, once it got through the airlock there was no getting rid of it. Here are some of the best stories to be inspired by,...

“Caravaggio’s Shadow,” “Charlotte” and “Goya, Carrière and the Ghost of Buñuel” feature in the 15-film lineup of 2023’s second edition of Arca Intl. Festival of Films on Arts, 2023, which opens Jan. 2 with the world premiere of “The Children of the Mountain,” a doc-feature portrait of Uruguayan sculptor Pablo Atchugarry from Mercedes Sader, director of Arca.
“Arts” is understood in the broadest sense. Framing two fiction movies and 14 doc features, the titles range, as programmer Sergio Fant points out, from takes on three of the greatest painters who ever lived – Caravaggio, Goya and Cezanne – to celebrated, unknown or forgotten figures of contemporary art, such as “Folon.” The movie is the first documentary on Belgian’s Jean-Michel Folon, despite his status as one of Europe’s most important painter-illustrator of the second half of the 20th century, producing and popularising a series of iconic images, such as the bird-man.

The key to Cate Le Bon’s dazzling new album, Reward, is a chair. Not just any chair — a strikingly minimalist piece in dark-stained oak, which she built herself after finishing a yearlong course on furniture design. “It’s not comfortable, and it’s not particularly beautiful,” says the Welsh musician, 36. “I built myself a strange little throne, really.”
Le Bon is sitting in the café of the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum on New York’s Upper East Side, explaining why she put her career on hold to study woodworking.

Mark Cousins, director of Cannes Classics hit The Eyes Of Orson Welles, would be a distinctive character even if he wasn’t a respected filmmaker, writer and historian—his body is emblazoned with tattooed tributes to the artists and thinkers who have shaped his outlook on life: Paul Cézanne, Marie Curie, Albrecht Dürer, Le Corbusier and Virginia Woolf, to name but a few. Two years ago, he had another added—an homage to Citizen Kane director Orson Welles, on his arm—and after a chance meeting he began to wonder if he might regret it.
“I was in Traverse City [Michigan] for the film festival,” Cousins told me at the Deadline studio in Cannes, “which is Michael Moore’s film festival. Beatrice Welles, Orson Welles’ daughter was there, and I asked if I could meet her.” As soon as he’d asked, Cousins remembered the tattoo. “I was a bit embarrassed,...

NEW YORK -- This directorial debut from Matt Tauber, adapted from a play by David Greig, interweaves the stories of two families, one headed by a community activist and the other a well-heeled architect who designed the low-income housing project that the activist seeks to have torn down.
But while it provides a sometimes thoughtful examination of modern sociological issues, "The Architect" unfortunately succumbs to melodrama in its depiction of its troubled characters.
The titular figure is Leo Waters (Anthony LaPaglia), who lives with his family in an upscale Chicago suburb. His lifestyle contrasts dramatically with that of Tonya (Viola Davis), who lives in Eden Court, a dilapidated housing project on the South Side that the idealistic Leo designed years ago in the style of Le Corbusier.
One day, Tonya shows up at Leo's college course to request that he sign a petition for the buildings to be torn down, which the affronted architect refuses to do.
But the characters do have something in common, namely difficult home fronts. Leo's wife (Isabella Rossellini) is depressed to the point of near catatonia. His physically blossoming teen daughter (Hayden Panettiere) is desperate to lose her virginity. And his son (Sebastian Stan) has just dropped out of college.
For her part, Tonya, whose first son committed suicide, has one daughter who is an irresponsible single mother and another who is temporarily living with an upscale family not far from Leo's home.
Interesting and provocative when dealing with its themes involving the social responsibilities of modern housing, the film is unconvincing and contrived in its depiction of its troubled characters. Despite the best efforts of LaPaglia and Davis, who deliver sensitive, well nuanced performances, "The Architect" suffers from over-the-top design and shaky construction.
