THE PRICE OF DESIRE
The true story of how irish furniture designer and architect Eileen Gray's contribution to the inception of 20th century architecture was completely effaced and defaced by her nemesis, Le Corbusier - with Orla Brady as Eileen Gray and co-starring Vincent Perez, Francesco Scianna and Alanis Morrissette,
Set substantially on the Côte d’Azur in and around her most abiding work, the villa e1027, The Price of Desire explores the events and details surrounding Le Corbusier’s eventual erasure of Gray’s very ownership of the house, and re-attribution of its design by omission to the chauvinistic men in her life, essentially stripping Gray of the right to be recognized as the author of her own work.
This triangular tale of insidious chauvinism experienced by the remarkable bisexual Irish artist, architect and designer, resonates as a universal female experience while cinematically evoking the essential aesthetic of Eileen Gray.
