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

Why watch?

I loved E.1027 because whilst grappling with the ins and outs of the situation and the people involved, the filmmakers also endeavoured to make a film that visually feels true to the exceptional artistic vision of Gray. Working to capture within the film space, movement and light – all the facets of Gray’s modernist haven beside the sea.

E.1027 is a cinematic journey into the mind of Eileen Gray. A story about the power of female expression, and men's desire to control it.

Eileen Gray had a truly eminent sense of design. The Irish artist and architect 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. A house and a work of art in one, overlooking the sun-sparkled infinity of the Mediterranean. The house is named E.1027, a cryptic contraction of the names of Gray and her lover, Romanian architect Jean Badovici. But when the Swiss-French star architect Le Corbusier learns of the house, he becomes obsessed – perhaps because Gray breathes light, air and soul into her building, which is not just a machine to live in.

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

This event is taking place at Hyde Park Picture House, as part of our season The Stories We Tell, presented by Leeds Heritage Theatres.
