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,...

Louis Vuitton has officially revealed Zendaya as the maison’s newest house ambassador, becoming the face of their iconic Capucines bag.
The Capucines handbag, which was launched a decade ago and is named after the Paris street where Louis Vuitton opened his first store in 1854, has become a defining silhouette for the luxury fashion house. The handbag, crafted in full-grain Taurillon leather and outfitted with hand, shoulder, and cross-body styling options, is both practical and elegant.
“It’s really beautifully made and durable,” Zendaya, who has cemented herself as a fashion star on virtually every red carpet, told Vogue about the Capucines bag. “If I buy something I want it to really last me. I’m not always the most responsible bag owner, so I might be throwing it around, it might get some real wear in it, you know, because I want to really use it, and it feels so sturdy.

Even tantalizing glimpses of 20th-century Anglo-Irish modernist Eileen Gray’s most iconic designs, including scenes shot in the seminal E-1027, a seaside villa she built for her former lover Jean Badovici on France’s Côte d’Azur, fail to compensate for the rest of the treacle comprising “The Price of Desire.” Essentially a recounting of how envious Swiss architect Le Corbusier effectively undermined Gray’s artistry and for many years obscured her place in the design pantheon, this tedious 2014 production from Irish multi-hyphenate Mary McGuckian (“Man on the Train”) receives a belated digital and on-demand release via Giant Pictures on June 2.
Gray’s remarkable life, talent and legacy receives more inspiring treatment in “Gray Matters,” a companion documentary helmed at the same time by Marco Antonio Orsini, available on iTunes.
