34
00:05:03,791 --> 00:05:05,458
[Le Corbusier] An architect
must be more

35
00:05:05,458 --> 00:05:06,791
than just a man of knowledge,

36
00:05:06,791 --> 00:05:08,833

37
00:05:08,833 --> 00:05:10,625
A scientist...

00:05:10,625 --> 00:05:13,208
as well as an artist.

Ms. Gray deliberately amended

00:05:19,833 --> 00:05:20,916
my modernist mandate

42
00:05:20,916 --> 00:05:23,458

43
00:05:23,458 --> 00:05:25,125

was the rooftop terrace?

I paid the price for a large

[Le Corbusier] Probably among
her least luxurious pieces.

70
00:08:48,083 --> 00:08:50,125
But when I first saw
her exhibits

71
00:08:50,125 --> 00:08:53,416
at the Salon des artistes
in 1923...

72
00:08:53,416 --> 00:08:55,041
the innovation filled me

73
00:08:55,041 --> 00:08:58,208
with jealousy
and awe in equal measure.

74
00:08:58,208 --> 00:09:00,125
Not that we were contemporaries,

75
00:09:00,125 --> 00:09:01,958
Le Corbusier is still
a struggling painter,

76
00:09:01,958 --> 00:09:04,333

was barely born.

78
00:09:06,083 --> 00:09:09,000
the great creator
of luxurious interiors

79
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,250
had already arrived.

81
00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:12,833
[Le Corbusier in English]

82
00:09:12,833 --> 00:09:14,291
were about to collide.

83

84
00:10:18,458 --> 00:10:21,333
[Le Corbusier] Jean envied
my architectural achievements

our entire adult lives.

86
00:10:24,125 --> 00:10:27,291
But I could never compete
with this prodigious advantage

87
00:10:27,291 --> 00:10:28,833
when it came to women.

88
00:10:31,583 --> 00:10:34,041
Which is why my own
occasional publication

89
00:10:34,041 --> 00:10:35,833
is dedicated
to modern architecture.

90
00:10:37,208 --> 00:10:40,041

All, all your work,
I mean to say.

95
00:10:48,791 --> 00:10:52,000
For Wendingen.
It's a Dutch publication.

from J.P Oud at De Stijl.

99
00:10:58,791 --> 00:11:00,833
Well, they would very much
like to dedicate

100
00:11:00,833 --> 00:11:02,750
an entire issue to you
and your work.

101
00:11:05,291 --> 00:11:06,875
If you'd be so kind
as to permit me

102
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:09,166
to understate the article.

103
00:11:09,166 --> 00:11:11,958
An entire issue of Wendingen?

104
00:11:11,958 --> 00:11:14,000
[Jean]
It's to be an in-depth piece.

105
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,083
And during isolation...

106
00:11:16,083 --> 00:11:18,041
is the price of my freedom.

107
00:11:18,041 --> 00:11:20,166
I immerse myself
in my work, you see.

108
00:11:21,083 --> 00:11:23,291
To escape the perils of life...

109
00:11:23,291 --> 00:11:25,208

the time to work together.

115
00:12:11,291 --> 00:12:12,833
collaborate on your article.

116
00:12:18,916 --> 00:12:20,791
[Jean] Would you mind
if I asked you something?

117
00:12:20,791 --> 00:12:22,083
If it's not too indiscreet?

118
00:12:22,083 --> 00:12:23,875
Not at all.

119
00:12:23,875 --> 00:12:25,250
I can't promise response.

120
00:12:29,250 --> 00:12:31,458
Is it a self-portrait?

121
00:12:31,458 --> 00:12:33,083
More of a personal piece.

122
00:12:34,041 --> 00:12:35,916

123
00:12:35,916 --> 00:12:37,791
of the dark days of the war."

124
00:12:39,708 --> 00:12:40,875
It's very beautiful.

00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:45,833
[light music]

126
00:12:49,083 --> 00:12:51,291
[Eileen] The world's a very
different place since the war.

127
00:12:51,291 --> 00:12:52,500
We were frivolous then.

128
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:55,416
Oh, the folly of our ways.

129
00:12:55,416 --> 00:12:58,083
Now, I find functional form
is refined,

130
00:12:58,083 --> 00:13:00,500
and defined as art.

131
00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:02,583
It's a question of intention,
of function,

132
00:13:03,666 --> 00:13:05,083
what's the use?

133
00:13:06,791 --> 00:13:09,041
How would you use this?

134
00:13:09,041 --> 00:13:11,208
Luxuriously, the bed,
for example.

135
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:13,583
It is not originally designed
for any purpose,

136
00:13:13,583 --> 00:13:15,791
but, rather for effect.

137
00:13:20,833 --> 00:13:21,916
[Eileen] Ah.

138
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:27,333
Quite the pose.

139
00:13:27,333 --> 00:13:28,458
Don't you think?

140
00:13:28,458 --> 00:13:32,833
[Jean] Post-war, those pieces
were almost priceless...

141
00:13:32,833 --> 00:13:34,875
preserved of the rich
and famous.

142
00:13:34,875 --> 00:13:36,541
I even promoted her myself,

143
00:13:36,541 --> 00:13:39,708
at the expense of my own
architectural projects.

delirious...

00:14:14,541 --> 00:14:15,708
desirous...

158
00:14:17,625 --> 00:14:19,791
But why women were not
for going to bed with?

[singing in French]

160
00:14:22,208 --> 00:14:24,583
There is much uncertainty
about sex.

161
00:14:24,583 --> 00:14:26,208
Unless it's paid for.

162
00:14:28,041 --> 00:14:30,458
And so much certainty
about the work...

163
00:14:31,708 --> 00:14:33,125
even when it isn't.

In love, not so well.

175
00:16:30,083 --> 00:16:34,541
To me, they were incompatible
and confused.

176
00:16:34,541 --> 00:16:36,291
[Le Corbusier]
To you, they seemed...

177
00:16:36,291 --> 00:16:38,833
utterly, intrinsically infused.

178
00:16:38,833 --> 00:16:41,375
Life and art seemed to...

[speaking French]

187
00:18:42,375 --> 00:18:44,291
Was there ever...

188
00:18:46,291 --> 00:18:48,291
never, a more...

189
00:18:48,291 --> 00:18:51,250
conventional suitor?

190
00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:53,416
Marriage has never
appealed to me.

191
00:18:53,416 --> 00:18:58,125
Or... a non-conventional suitor?

192
00:18:58,125 --> 00:19:00,291
I do tend to distinguish.

193
00:19:01,666 --> 00:19:03,833
I mean...
[sighs]

194
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:09,291
...a male lover?

195
00:19:09,291 --> 00:19:11,625
I need freedom to think, to...

196
00:19:12,083 --> 00:19:13,125
work.

197
00:19:14,291 --> 00:19:15,458
To create.

198
00:19:16,625 --> 00:19:17,958
"Freedom."
[snickers]

199
00:19:21,791 --> 00:19:23,458
Freedom can be lonely.

200
00:19:37,041 --> 00:19:38,041
Lightly.

201
00:19:50,041 --> 00:19:51,041
There.

202
00:19:53,833 --> 00:19:55,416
Draw down.

203
00:19:55,416 --> 00:19:56,541
Stroke.

204
00:20:05,250 --> 00:20:07,250
[light music]

205
00:20:11,416 --> 00:20:13,666
Do you know that you have
the most beautiful profile.

206
00:20:21,291 --> 00:20:23,166
C'est magnifique.

207
00:20:35,041 --> 00:20:37,041
[light music]

208
00:21:04,041 --> 00:21:06,875
A triumph of modern living.

209
00:21:06,875 --> 00:21:08,791
It's my piece of value
for women.

210
00:21:09,541 --> 00:21:11,291
"Spiritual content,

211
00:21:11,291 --> 00:21:12,875
form, and matter fuse

212
00:21:12,875 --> 00:21:16,041
form a unity of rare delight."

213
00:21:16,041 --> 00:21:19,416
[Eileen] It's fabulously
comfortable.

214
00:21:19,416 --> 00:21:21,750
As an indoor and outdoor idea.

215
00:21:22,916 --> 00:21:25,083
I could call it the "transat."

216
00:21:25,083 --> 00:21:27,458
Inspired by our first
transatlantic trip.

217
00:21:30,375 --> 00:21:33,666
Her art is on the contrary,
cerebral.

218
00:21:33,666 --> 00:21:34,750
[Eileen chuckles]

219
00:21:34,750 --> 00:21:37,291
It is born of a strong
and powerful land.

220
00:21:37,291 --> 00:21:39,208
It shows a willingness

221
00:21:39,208 --> 00:21:42,750
to build purely, ideal spaces.

222
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:45,375
I often wonder where
there's art, there's analysis.

223
00:21:45,375 --> 00:21:47,583
As it's a form
of analysis in itself.

224
00:21:57,666 --> 00:21:59,083
[in English]
What am I looking for?

225
00:22:01,708 --> 00:22:02,916
I'm looking...

226
00:22:07,333 --> 00:22:08,583
I'm looking for love.

227
00:22:10,333 --> 00:22:11,541
[snickers]

228
00:22:19,916 --> 00:22:21,833
[Jean] Is it drive or desire...

229
00:22:21,833 --> 00:22:24,583
that most motivates
the creation of meaningful work?

230
00:22:24,583 --> 00:22:27,250
You're so impassioned
by architecture.

231
00:22:27,250 --> 00:22:30,208
Why don't you work
or at least write more?

232
00:22:30,208 --> 00:22:33,541
You could write a new edition
of L'Architecture Vivante.

233
00:22:33,541 --> 00:22:35,083
What more could I add?

234
00:22:35,083 --> 00:22:36,750
There's so much more to say.

235
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:38,458
You could dedicate
an entire issue

236
00:22:38,458 --> 00:22:40,166
to local musée for example.

237
00:22:40,166 --> 00:22:42,333
Wouldn't that be more
about what is good to say?

238
00:22:44,875 --> 00:22:47,958
I just feel like you're putting
away your talent in furniture.

239
00:22:47,958 --> 00:22:49,708
You're 46 years old.

240
00:22:49,708 --> 00:22:51,916
Why don't you build a thing
that will last?

241
00:22:51,916 --> 00:22:53,541
A boat?

242
00:22:53,541 --> 00:22:55,500
More of an architectural legacy.

243
00:22:56,416 --> 00:22:58,083
Like a house.

244
00:22:58,083 --> 00:23:00,333
Maybe I can ground
an ocean liner.

245
00:23:00,333 --> 00:23:02,458
Not just an interior,
a whole house.

246
00:23:03,916 --> 00:23:04,958
Mm-hm.

247
00:23:08,791 --> 00:23:09,958
For you.

248
00:23:13,458 --> 00:23:14,458
For us.

249
00:23:16,208 --> 00:23:18,250
A house by the sea.

250
00:23:18,250 --> 00:23:19,291
Where?

251
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Here.

252
00:23:22,625 --> 00:23:23,708
On this coast.

253
00:23:27,083 --> 00:23:28,791
[both laugh]

254
00:23:35,333 --> 00:23:37,541
[birds chirping]

255
00:23:59,375 --> 00:24:01,583
[light music]

256
00:24:21,291 --> 00:24:23,625
[Le Corbusier] A perfect site
for the perfect house,

257
00:24:24,791 --> 00:24:27,041
as daunting as it was beautiful.

258
00:24:30,291 --> 00:24:32,833
Where it would, all of us
come to feel like one,

259
00:24:32,833 --> 00:24:36,041
with... the forces of nature.

260
00:24:46,166 --> 00:24:48,666
[engine rumbling]

261
00:24:53,958 --> 00:24:56,833
[indistinct chatter]

262
00:24:57,458 --> 00:24:58,958
[all laugh]

263
00:24:58,958 --> 00:25:00,333
Eileen.
[clears throat]

264
00:25:06,375 --> 00:25:07,916
[in French]

265
00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:21,083
[Le Corbusier]
Naturally, I assumed,

266
00:25:21,083 --> 00:25:23,250
that my elegant friend
and admirer

267
00:25:23,250 --> 00:25:24,875
Jean Badovici
would commission me

268
00:25:24,875 --> 00:25:26,791
to design and construct
his villa.

269
00:25:26,791 --> 00:25:30,291
And that the independently
wealthy Eileen Gray

270
00:25:30,291 --> 00:25:31,291
would pay.

271
00:25:35,833 --> 00:25:37,166
[in English]
A modern villa.

272
00:25:37,166 --> 00:25:38,333
[in French]

273
00:25:58,375 --> 00:26:01,541
[Le Corbusier] While he had
some architectural ambitions,

274
00:26:01,541 --> 00:26:05,333
he had not an ounce
of the experience required

275
00:26:05,333 --> 00:26:07,208
to undertake such a project.

276
00:26:07,208 --> 00:26:08,583
I very much enjoy the work

277
00:26:08,583 --> 00:26:10,083
of incorporating some
of the tendance

278
00:26:10,083 --> 00:26:11,458
into my drawings, thus far.

279
00:26:13,791 --> 00:26:15,708
-Which ones?
-[Eileen] Well...

280
00:26:15,708 --> 00:26:17,541
the side lines itself very well,

281
00:26:17,541 --> 00:26:19,375
to the erosion
of differentiation

282
00:26:19,375 --> 00:26:21,208
between the indoor
and outdoor space.

283
00:26:21,208 --> 00:26:22,958
[in French]

284
00:26:25,208 --> 00:26:26,333
[Eileen] On the contrary,

285
00:26:26,333 --> 00:26:27,458
I think it matters very much.

286
00:26:27,458 --> 00:26:29,833
The external design
is integral to the site

287
00:26:29,833 --> 00:26:31,458
which in turn, impacts
on the interior.

288
00:26:50,666 --> 00:26:54,250
[Jean] Surely, so long
as it's on structural stilts,

289
00:26:54,250 --> 00:26:55,791
with non-supporting walls,

290
00:26:55,791 --> 00:26:59,083
an open interior
with floor to ceiling windows,

291
00:26:59,083 --> 00:27:00,708
an intensive roof terrace,

292
00:27:01,541 --> 00:27:02,750
the plan subscribes.

293
00:27:03,958 --> 00:27:05,666
[Eileen] For me, that's nothing.

294
00:27:05,666 --> 00:27:07,291
Life is everything.

295
00:27:08,625 --> 00:27:11,125
Simultaneously, mind and heart.

296
00:27:14,458 --> 00:27:15,458
Excuse me.

297
00:27:20,125 --> 00:27:22,916
[dogs barking]

298
00:27:29,583 --> 00:27:30,708
[sighs]

299
00:27:34,250 --> 00:27:36,666
[Le Corbusier] Never for
a moment, did I imagine

300
00:27:36,666 --> 00:27:39,625
that the elegant designer
of interior, Ms. Eileen Gray,

301
00:27:39,625 --> 00:27:42,041
would have the autodidactic
arrogance

302
00:27:42,041 --> 00:27:44,500
to attempt
such a project herself.

303
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:46,541
There are buildings
which are mute,

304
00:27:46,541 --> 00:27:49,166
buildings which will talk to you
and then...

305
00:27:50,291 --> 00:27:52,416
[calm music]

306
00:28:56,500 --> 00:28:58,625
[calm music continues]

307
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,958
If you prefer Corbusier
to design the house that--

308
00:30:30,958 --> 00:30:32,416
It's a house for us...

309
00:30:33,416 --> 00:30:35,625
Not for him.

310
00:30:35,625 --> 00:30:38,916
And anyway it does reference
the five point plan.

311
00:30:38,916 --> 00:30:40,625
It's to be my gift to you.

312
00:30:40,625 --> 00:30:42,833
If we are designing it
then--

313
00:30:42,833 --> 00:30:45,416
We should sign it
as us together.

314
00:30:53,958 --> 00:30:56,166
The Gray-Badovici residence.

315
00:30:57,541 --> 00:30:59,416
Maybe just initial it.

316
00:30:59,416 --> 00:31:00,458
How?

317
00:31:01,458 --> 00:31:03,166
Villa B-G?

318
00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:05,291
The Badovici-Gray Villa?

319
00:31:05,291 --> 00:31:08,166
Oh, Gray-Badovici. Villa G-B.

320
00:31:08,166 --> 00:31:09,791
As in Gray Britton?

321
00:31:09,791 --> 00:31:11,250
[both laugh]

322
00:31:12,833 --> 00:31:15,208
E-G, J-B.

323
00:31:15,208 --> 00:31:17,750
E-G. J-B.

324
00:31:17,750 --> 00:31:19,958
For example Jean Badovici.
[both laugh]

325
00:31:21,166 --> 00:31:22,791
J-B, E-G.

326
00:31:22,791 --> 00:31:24,875
Uh, Jean Badovici for example.

327
00:31:24,875 --> 00:31:27,375
Oh, I'm trying to think
of something more subtle.

328
00:31:28,833 --> 00:31:30,458
We could use numerical code.

329
00:31:33,458 --> 00:31:36,291
-Ten for "J", two for "B"...
-Mm-hm.

330
00:31:36,291 --> 00:31:38,625
"G" is the seventh letter
of the alphabet.

331
00:31:38,625 --> 00:31:40,541
What happened to "E"
for Eileen?

332
00:31:40,541 --> 00:31:42,583
Ten, two,

333
00:31:42,583 --> 00:31:44,833
"E" for Eileen. Seven.

334
00:31:44,833 --> 00:31:47,000
Ladies first, you know?

335
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,166
"E" then ten.

336
00:31:50,791 --> 00:31:52,208
Two, seven...

337
00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:55,166
ten, twenty-seven.

338
00:31:56,833 --> 00:31:59,125
We are all entangled now.

339
00:31:59,125 --> 00:32:00,541
To adjust.

340
00:32:06,583 --> 00:32:08,750
[light music]

341
00:32:22,625 --> 00:32:25,916
[in French]

342
00:32:41,166 --> 00:32:42,208
Mm-hm.

343
00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:51,708
Perhaps proof,
if proof were needed

344
00:32:51,708 --> 00:32:54,375
that ornamentation
can serve a function.

345
00:32:55,208 --> 00:32:57,500
Always elegant, demure.

346
00:33:00,416 --> 00:33:01,750
And dignified.

347
00:33:04,541 --> 00:33:06,083
Oh, did I detect
the look of disdain?

348
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,291
Hm?

349
00:33:21,291 --> 00:33:24,958
I have no objection
to a women's touch.

350
00:33:24,958 --> 00:33:28,208
But then again,
apparently that cheap.

351
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,500
Machine for living.
Machine for living.

352
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:39,083
Did I rue the day I was
required to defend that remark?

353
00:33:45,291 --> 00:33:47,041
But where is a machine?
A motor?

354
00:33:47,041 --> 00:33:48,583
Why not a house?

355
00:33:48,583 --> 00:33:50,000
and is it not due call
of a house

356
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,041
to make life easy and agreeable?

357
00:33:59,541 --> 00:34:01,583
So what is the world is saying?

358
00:34:01,583 --> 00:34:04,125
that our family roof,
the a sacred shelter

359
00:34:04,125 --> 00:34:05,833
of our household guards

360
00:34:05,833 --> 00:34:08,041
the villa of our relaxation

361
00:34:08,041 --> 00:34:12,125
and the castle of our dreams
are all just machines?

362
00:34:13,583 --> 00:34:14,791
[clicks tongue]

363
00:34:35,875 --> 00:34:37,708
Well, for a man with your
proclivity to entertain

364
00:34:37,708 --> 00:34:39,916
I can't imagine you alone.

365
00:34:39,916 --> 00:34:41,625
In any event,
the guest room is downstairs.

366
00:34:41,625 --> 00:34:44,291
And if desired entirely alone.

367
00:34:46,458 --> 00:34:49,958
[Le Corbusier] I could have
caressed her that moment.

368
00:34:51,083 --> 00:34:53,291
In my murderous mind,

369
00:34:53,291 --> 00:34:56,000
the act of love and the making
of buildings were...

370
00:34:57,875 --> 00:34:59,666
inextricably bound.

371
00:34:59,666 --> 00:35:01,416
[in French]

372
00:35:14,791 --> 00:35:16,833
[light music]

373
00:35:50,458 --> 00:35:52,458
[light music continues]

374
00:38:02,875 --> 00:38:03,916
Hm?

375
00:38:07,250 --> 00:38:08,416
It's a manhole.

376
00:38:08,416 --> 00:38:09,625
Circular, rounding off

377
00:38:09,625 --> 00:38:11,291
at the top of the spiral
staircase.

378
00:38:14,250 --> 00:38:15,625
This is the fifth.

379
00:38:18,041 --> 00:38:20,625
The only Corbusier terrace
you missed.

380
00:38:20,625 --> 00:38:23,458
The gift of a garden to replace
what the building stole

381
00:38:23,458 --> 00:38:25,041
I didn't necessarily see
the point.

382
00:38:25,041 --> 00:38:27,250
What would you do up here?

383
00:38:27,250 --> 00:38:28,875
It's a roof terrace.

384
00:38:28,875 --> 00:38:30,750
Le Corbusier's fifth tenant,

385
00:38:30,750 --> 00:38:34,250
if one wants to adhere absolute.

386
00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:36,375
I wonder why one
would climb up here,

387
00:38:36,375 --> 00:38:38,666
what, with the wonderful
terraces below.

388
00:38:38,666 --> 00:38:39,875
Our sentiments exactly.

389
00:38:39,875 --> 00:38:41,666
Nature has its own language.

390
00:38:41,666 --> 00:38:43,791
I found him disquieting
on the point, Le Corbusier.

391
00:38:46,208 --> 00:38:49,833
An organic challenge to the
spread of formalism

392
00:38:49,833 --> 00:38:51,875
Eileen has personalized
the project

393
00:38:51,875 --> 00:38:53,500
in a very particular way.

394
00:38:54,875 --> 00:38:56,791
Much more than advisory.

395
00:38:56,791 --> 00:38:58,875
Let me take you on the tour.

396
00:38:58,875 --> 00:39:00,291
You must come in
by the front door

397
00:39:00,291 --> 00:39:01,708
to get the right effect.

398
00:39:03,583 --> 00:39:05,083
Thank you.

399
00:39:07,125 --> 00:39:09,083
(tranquil music)

400
00:39:32,916 --> 00:39:34,458

402

Ah.

403
00:39:46,875 --> 00:39:47,875
Ah.

404
00:39:56,583 --> 00:39:58,958
[laughing]

405
00:39:58,958 --> 00:40:02,458
There's also a separate
sleeping area...

406
00:40:02,458 --> 00:40:04,583
with a reading lamp, bookshelf,

407
00:40:04,583 --> 00:40:06,125
vide poche.

408
00:40:06,125 --> 00:40:07,750
For the man
who likes to read in bed.

409
00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:09,666
For the man who likes
to breakfast in bed,

410
00:40:09,666 --> 00:40:11,375
an adjustable side table.

411
00:40:11,375 --> 00:40:12,791
For the modern man,

412
00:40:12,791 --> 00:40:15,500
who like to work, play sport,
and entertain.

413
00:40:16,708 --> 00:40:19,333
Designs with independence

414
00:40:19,333 --> 00:40:20,916
and style in mind.

415
00:40:20,916 --> 00:40:22,500
A room of one's own.

419
00:40:42,875 --> 00:40:44,125
I adore you.

420
00:40:45,708 --> 00:40:47,541
I was all for you.

421
00:40:47,541 --> 00:40:48,958
For your amusement, you see.

422

425
00:43:10,625 --> 00:43:12,375
I meant it at the time.

426
00:43:12,375 --> 00:43:15,333
And on this page,
I was thinking...

427
00:43:15,333 --> 00:43:18,208
[in French]

428
00:43:33,291 --> 00:43:35,250
I should color these in.

429
00:43:35,250 --> 00:43:36,916
I would leave them
in black and white.

430
00:43:39,375 --> 00:43:40,500
[Jean] Mm-hm.

431
00:43:49,583 --> 00:43:50,916
[papers rasping]

432
00:43:57,166 --> 00:43:58,375
Is that how it's done?

433
00:43:59,583 --> 00:44:01,666
Perhaps you are
on the left hand side.

434
00:44:04,375 --> 00:44:05,375
We can print this how we like.

435
00:44:07,166 --> 00:44:08,333
As long as the publisher

436
00:44:08,333 --> 00:44:09,833
and date of publication
appears somewhere.

437
00:44:16,833 --> 00:44:18,666
[in French]

438
00:44:28,625 --> 00:44:29,833
It's us.

439
00:44:58,583 --> 00:45:00,000
[in English]
As you wish.

440
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,041
[door closes]

441
00:45:05,208 --> 00:45:06,791
Your road or the high road.

442
00:45:08,666 --> 00:45:09,958
[Le corbusier]And so it began.

443
00:45:09,958 --> 00:45:12,458
By signing his name
to the editorial.

444
00:45:12,458 --> 00:45:13,916
Technically attributing

445
00:45:13,916 --> 00:45:16,250
authorship of the article
to himself

446
00:45:16,250 --> 00:45:18,875
as was his moral right.

447
00:45:18,875 --> 00:45:22,250
He failed to specify the
architectural credit due to her.

448
00:45:24,083 --> 00:45:26,708
So we threw a party
to celebrate publication,

449
00:45:26,708 --> 00:45:29,333
my publisher
promoting her designs

450
00:45:29,333 --> 00:45:30,958
over my architecture.

451
00:45:30,958 --> 00:45:33,500
And for what? For the price
of the villa on Le Corbusier.

452
00:45:33,500 --> 00:45:37,166
Designed, as if in my name
and registered in his.

453
00:45:37,166 --> 00:45:40,250
Yes, it was his house,
her gift to him, but...

454
00:45:40,250 --> 00:45:42,958
his misattribution whether
it was intentional or not.

455
00:45:42,958 --> 00:45:45,041
It was a magnificent omission.

456
00:45:51,958 --> 00:45:53,833

457
00:46:17,458 --> 00:46:19,708
[crowd applauding]

458
00:46:27,958 --> 00:46:29,083
[Jean]

459
00:46:35,083 --> 00:46:37,250

461
00:47:19,875 --> 00:47:23,333
I'm not sure which of you
flatters me the most.

[indistinct chatter]

463
00:47:26,625 --> 00:47:28,708
I can't imagine
whether you find the position...

464
00:47:31,708 --> 00:47:33,666
I think the perfume is gone.

465
00:47:33,666 --> 00:47:35,458
What distracts
all sense of smell?

466
00:47:37,500 --> 00:47:39,791
I wonder for which
of your many accomplishments

467
00:47:39,791 --> 00:47:41,208
you'd be most remembered.

468
00:47:44,208 --> 00:47:46,750
I gather there's been
some dispute

469
00:47:46,750 --> 00:47:47,833
as to whether or not I invented

470
00:47:47,833 --> 00:47:49,875
the first piece
of tubular steel furniture.

471
00:47:49,875 --> 00:47:52,958
Marcel Breuer says
he was struck by the idea

472
00:47:52,958 --> 00:47:54,625
while riding a bicycle.

473
00:47:54,625 --> 00:47:56,125
Is that so?

474
00:47:56,125 --> 00:47:58,125
The steel handle bars.

475
00:47:58,125 --> 00:48:00,333
The handle bars.

476
00:48:00,333 --> 00:48:02,541
A bicycle. Hmm.

477
00:48:15,333 --> 00:48:17,541
We've been completely ignored
by the press.

478
00:48:18,708 --> 00:48:21,125
Darling,
well, you are the press.

479
00:48:23,250 --> 00:48:25,458
I suppose it's because
of the depression.

480
00:48:25,458 --> 00:48:26,875
Everything is affected.

481
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,041
[sighs]

482
00:48:36,041 --> 00:48:38,125
I'm going to have to close
the gallery.

483
00:48:41,416 --> 00:48:42,750
[Jean] Is it suffering too?

484
00:48:45,458 --> 00:48:47,916
More from neglect
and economic crisis.

485
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,583

just to cheer ourselves up.

505
00:51:32,625 --> 00:51:35,666
Mm. I never peek at everyone
else has been doing.

506
00:51:37,125 --> 00:51:39,166
Who?

507
00:51:39,166 --> 00:51:41,791
We could pay a visit
to Le Corbusier at Villa Savoye.

508
00:51:41,791 --> 00:51:43,375
See what he's up to.

509
00:51:43,375 --> 00:51:45,958
He still hasn't finished.

510
00:51:45,958 --> 00:51:48,291
The owners have taken
the crew to court.

511
00:51:48,291 --> 00:51:50,916
The roof leaks when it rains.

512
00:51:50,916 --> 00:51:52,708
An inconvenience I admit

513
00:51:52,708 --> 00:51:54,500
but hardly a crime.

514
00:51:54,500 --> 00:51:56,250

we were the first

515

on the modernist villa.

Ah, Le Corbu?

517
00:52:00,083 --> 00:52:01,916
That it was first to complete.

518
00:52:01,916 --> 00:52:03,625
Has he invited us?

519
00:52:03,625 --> 00:52:06,125
He would if he thought
of right about it.

520

Hmm.

Le Corbusier

522
00:52:09,166 --> 00:52:11,083
is not the only architect
you could be promoting.

It's his pavilion in Barcelona.
Look.

528
00:52:22,291 --> 00:52:24,916
He calls it "skin and bones,"

00:55:49,250 --> 00:55:51,250
What's the old French
for proverb?

554
00:55:51,958 --> 00:55:54,708
[Eileen in French]

555
00:56:01,208 --> 00:56:02,791
[in English]
"Figs mature...

556
00:56:02,791 --> 00:56:04,333
in straw, with time."

557
00:56:05,041 --> 00:56:06,583
Time and straw.

558
00:56:07,166 --> 00:56:08,208
[in French]

559
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,125
[Louise] Oui.

560
00:56:25,416 --> 00:56:26,500
Really?

561
00:56:42,333 --> 00:56:44,125
Oh. Oui.

562
00:56:44,791 --> 00:56:45,958
Oui.

563
00:57:06,750 --> 00:57:08,125
[Louise]

564
00:57:33,375 --> 00:57:34,375
[Louise]

565
00:57:43,375 --> 00:57:45,333
[rotary phone dialing]

566
00:58:08,208 --> 00:58:10,208
[phone ringing]

567
00:58:28,458 --> 00:58:30,458
[ringing continues]

568
00:58:50,083 --> 00:58:52,250
[dramatic music]

569
00:58:57,125 --> 00:58:58,291
[knocking on door]

570
00:59:07,625 --> 00:59:10,083
[Eileen]

571
00:59:23,541 --> 00:59:24,875
[Jean in English]
Please, Eileen.

572
00:59:25,666 --> 00:59:27,041
Some other time.

573
00:59:28,833 --> 00:59:30,500
What's with all the urgency?

574
00:59:30,500 --> 00:59:32,000
You never know I just draw--

575
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,750
This is an endless exercise
of futility.

576
00:59:33,750 --> 00:59:34,958
Open the door.

577
00:59:51,041 --> 00:59:52,166
[Charlotte grunts]

578
00:59:59,500 --> 01:00:01,166
[Charlotte moans]

579
01:00:25,708 --> 01:00:27,291
This is so uncalled for.

580
01:00:32,416 --> 01:00:34,166
Where is the folding chair?

581
01:00:34,791 --> 01:00:35,916
What?

582
01:00:35,916 --> 01:00:37,458
Louise said, that you asked her

583
01:00:37,458 --> 01:00:40,041
to send the "S" shaped
transit chair here.

584
01:00:40,041 --> 01:00:42,750
When I had expressly requested
that it be thrown out.

585
01:00:43,333 --> 01:00:44,708
[in French]

586
01:01:37,166 --> 01:01:38,416
[in English]
I have a perfectly pretty house

587
01:01:38,416 --> 01:01:40,333
of my own now.

588
01:01:40,333 --> 01:01:41,750
It's called Tempe à Paille.

589
01:01:41,750 --> 01:01:43,208
[in French]

590
01:01:58,958 --> 01:02:01,041
[somber music]

591
01:02:05,666 --> 01:02:07,291
[in English]
It means everything.

592
01:02:13,541 --> 01:02:15,875
Everything but yours,
with time.

593
01:02:19,708 --> 01:02:21,916
[dramatic music]

594
01:03:43,041 --> 01:03:44,500
You're working too hard.

595
01:03:49,333 --> 01:03:50,458
We never see you.

596
01:03:52,958 --> 01:03:55,083
People go to work
when life gets too easy.

597
01:04:00,125 --> 01:04:02,125
[paper rustling]

598
01:04:10,750 --> 01:04:13,541
L'architecture Vivante
has ceased publication.

599
01:04:15,250 --> 01:04:16,541
Morancé shut it down.

600
01:04:19,416 --> 01:04:20,500
I'm out of a job.

601
01:04:22,500 --> 01:04:24,916
You have my sympathy.

602
01:04:24,916 --> 01:04:28,375
But in my view, success requires
a life of solitude.

603
01:04:30,041 --> 01:04:32,208
[somber music]

604
01:04:39,166 --> 01:04:41,125
Maybe I should go up
to isolate for a time

605
01:04:41,125 --> 01:04:42,291
to think things through.

606
01:04:48,125 --> 01:04:49,958
I've taken an apartment
in San Tropez

607
01:04:49,958 --> 01:04:52,041
for the summer
to be near Natalie and Roman.

608
01:05:02,708 --> 01:05:04,833
[birds chirping]

609
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,833
[in French]

610
01:05:10,541 --> 01:05:11,666
[Le Corbusier] Mm.

611
01:05:13,625 --> 01:05:14,916
[sighs heavily]

612
01:05:30,458 --> 01:05:32,125
[in English]
There is nothing so urgent

613
01:05:32,125 --> 01:05:33,541
than the charge
to commit to canvass.

614
01:05:33,541 --> 01:05:37,500
No more complete rejection
than an unsuccessful exhibition.

615
01:05:40,041 --> 01:05:41,750
[in French]

616
01:05:41,750 --> 01:05:42,958
[Le Corbusier]
So from here on in,

617
01:05:42,958 --> 01:05:44,708
we only practice
painting privately

618
01:05:44,708 --> 01:05:46,041
on the walls of friends.

619
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:54,875
[laughing]

620
01:06:13,541 --> 01:06:16,958
Intellectual women are incurably
complex addiction

621
01:06:16,958 --> 01:06:19,708
engaging in enormous burden
of emotion and effort

622
01:06:19,708 --> 01:06:21,708
in exchange
for little in return.

623
01:06:26,125 --> 01:06:28,041
[Le Corbusier]
Expressive painting, I find,

624
01:06:28,041 --> 01:06:30,125
provides for some...

625
01:06:30,125 --> 01:06:32,625
sexual relief in recompense.

626
01:06:37,291 --> 01:06:39,458
[dramatic music]

627
01:07:13,416 --> 01:07:16,625
"I genuinely regret
having arrived here too late,

628
01:07:16,625 --> 01:07:19,833
to been able to spend some time
with you in your house.

629
01:07:26,541 --> 01:07:28,750
I hope that you will give us
the pleasure

630
01:07:28,750 --> 01:07:30,833
of paying us a visit in Paris."

631
01:07:30,833 --> 01:07:32,208
[in French]

632
01:07:35,250 --> 01:07:37,333
"I would be delighted
to relate how much

633
01:07:37,333 --> 01:07:40,250
those few days mainly appreciate
the rare spirit

634
01:07:40,250 --> 01:07:42,333
inside and outside."

635
01:08:00,333 --> 01:08:02,958
[in English]
A rare spirit.

636
01:08:02,958 --> 01:08:07,458
Which has given the modern
furniture and installations,

637
01:08:07,458 --> 01:08:10,083
such a dignified, charming,

638
01:08:10,875 --> 01:08:12,416
and witty shape.

639
01:08:13,750 --> 01:08:14,791
Hm?

640
01:08:16,083 --> 01:08:17,333
[in French]

641
01:08:31,333 --> 01:08:33,333
I would have been the first
to raise a glass

642
01:08:33,333 --> 01:08:35,833
were they to reconcile.

643
01:08:35,833 --> 01:08:38,500
But in truth, Jean
was drinking himself to death

644
01:08:38,500 --> 01:08:41,958
and his womanizing was more
waring than appealing.

645
01:08:41,958 --> 01:08:44,958
Eileen just couldn't cope
with his communal lifestyle.

646
01:09:10,375 --> 01:09:13,208
If never either of them
understood.

647
01:09:13,208 --> 01:09:16,708
The house with the shell
on the land.

648
01:09:16,708 --> 01:09:19,541
His extension, his release,

649
01:09:19,541 --> 01:09:20,958
his emanation.

650
01:09:35,250 --> 01:09:36,333
Hm?

651
01:10:06,416 --> 01:10:07,500
[Le Corbusier] Hm?

652
01:10:25,750 --> 01:10:27,000
Ah.

653
01:10:40,416 --> 01:10:41,500
[laughs]

654
01:10:48,166 --> 01:10:49,458
[Le Corbusier]
He was ill prepared

655
01:10:49,458 --> 01:10:51,125
for the manner of her departure.

656
01:10:51,125 --> 01:10:53,166
No drama, she simply left

657
01:10:53,166 --> 01:10:56,458
taking the moral high-ground
a little further up the hill.

658
01:10:56,458 --> 01:10:59,541
And equally ill prepared
for her reaction

659
01:10:59,541 --> 01:11:02,708
to my wonderful wall murals.

660
01:11:02,708 --> 01:11:04,875
Furious apparently.

661
01:11:09,625 --> 01:11:11,708
It's just such a shock.

662
01:11:11,708 --> 01:11:14,791
Why would he do
such a deliberate thing?

663
01:11:14,791 --> 01:11:18,083
A fellow architect,
a man I have admired for years.

664
01:11:18,083 --> 01:11:20,708
There's got to be something
you can do legally.

665
01:11:20,708 --> 01:11:22,166
After all it is your house.

666
01:11:22,166 --> 01:11:24,708
Technically, actually,
it's Jean's house.

667
01:11:24,708 --> 01:11:27,416
I registered it in his name
at the time of building...

668
01:11:28,125 --> 01:11:30,375
as my gift to us.

669
01:11:30,375 --> 01:11:31,833
But, darling,

670
01:11:32,500 --> 01:11:34,083
[in French]

671
01:11:36,250 --> 01:11:38,500
[in English]
So arrogant and I minded of you.

672
01:11:38,500 --> 01:11:40,000
[in French]

673
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:41,750
But you're intellectual
property rights

674
01:11:41,750 --> 01:11:43,958
have been utterly undenied.

675
01:11:43,958 --> 01:11:46,250
Not just your right
to the property title,

676
01:11:46,250 --> 01:11:48,958
but also you are more right
to be recognized

677
01:11:48,958 --> 01:11:50,833
as just the architect
of your work.

678
01:11:52,708 --> 01:11:55,458
You should take up
residence again.

679
01:11:55,458 --> 01:11:57,583
I can't imagine
I could ever go back now.

680
01:12:01,208 --> 01:12:02,458
[Le Corbusier]
Why would she ever again

681
01:12:02,458 --> 01:12:04,666
spend a night in the house?

682
01:12:04,666 --> 01:12:06,625
But then war did intervene.

683
01:12:06,625 --> 01:12:07,750
Is it late?

684
01:12:09,208 --> 01:12:11,291
Or is she?

685
01:12:11,291 --> 01:12:13,458
[indistinct chatter]

686
01:12:46,500 --> 01:12:48,583
[dramatic music]

687
01:13:08,625 --> 01:13:10,875
[dramatic music continues]

688
01:13:54,208 --> 01:13:55,375
[gunshot]

689
01:14:11,208 --> 01:14:13,041
[distant gunshots]

[somber music]

691
01:14:56,375 --> 01:14:58,458
[somber music continues]

[woman coughs, whimpers]

[somber music]

696
01:16:58,416 --> 01:17:00,458
[approaching footsteps]

697
01:17:13,625 --> 01:17:14,791
[sighs]

698
01:17:17,541 --> 01:17:19,458
[Eileen sobs]

699
01:17:27,625 --> 01:17:29,833
[somber music]

700
01:17:34,208 --> 01:17:35,875
[giggles]

701
01:17:39,833 --> 01:17:41,541
How was Vézelay?

702
01:17:41,541 --> 01:17:43,958
As good a place
to sit out the war as any.

703
01:17:45,375 --> 01:17:47,791
Corbusier was kind, um...

704
01:17:47,791 --> 01:17:50,875
of torturous.
[both laugh]

705
01:17:50,875 --> 01:17:55,250
Didn't he pass some time
in Vichy?

706
01:17:55,250 --> 01:17:58,791
There are some who say,
he might have collaborated.

707
01:17:58,791 --> 01:18:01,375
He played the Pétain card
for a while.

708
01:18:01,375 --> 01:18:03,291
But, you know, Le Corbusier
doesn't have a political bone

709
01:18:03,291 --> 01:18:05,541
in his body beyond
self-interest.

710
01:18:08,333 --> 01:18:10,291
We're all communists
in Vézelay.

711
01:18:10,291 --> 01:18:11,333
[snickers]

712
01:18:13,875 --> 01:18:15,333
What will you do now?

713
01:18:17,208 --> 01:18:18,833
I've been appointed

714
01:18:18,833 --> 01:18:21,916
adjunct chief architect
of reconstruction.

715
01:18:21,916 --> 01:18:23,833
In Maubeuge and Solesmes.

716
01:18:23,833 --> 01:18:25,541
But that's marvelous.

717
01:18:25,541 --> 01:18:26,958
[both laugh]

718
01:18:29,791 --> 01:18:31,125
Well,

719
01:18:31,125 --> 01:18:33,916
if I had any actual experience
in architecture.

720
01:18:33,916 --> 01:18:35,125
Hmm.

721
01:18:38,500 --> 01:18:40,541
I was rather wondering

722
01:18:40,541 --> 01:18:43,416
if you would work with me
on some of my proposals?

723
01:18:45,875 --> 01:18:47,958
Unless you have other plans.

724
01:18:50,458 --> 01:18:52,875
I need to rebuild...

725
01:18:52,875 --> 01:18:54,708
like everyone else in Europe.

726
01:19:04,333 --> 01:19:06,750
[calm music]

727
01:19:37,958 --> 01:19:39,083
[grunts]

728
01:19:44,125 --> 01:19:47,583
I should be taking sole credit
for this project.

729
01:19:47,583 --> 01:19:49,125
Perhaps you'd like
to participate.

730
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:51,166
Just a little.

731
01:19:52,291 --> 01:19:53,416
[sighs sharply]

732
01:19:55,041 --> 01:19:56,625
Just say the word.

733
01:19:59,666 --> 01:20:01,416
I need your eyes on this.

734
01:20:02,625 --> 01:20:04,791
No, you don't.

735
01:20:04,791 --> 01:20:06,791
No one needed my eye
or anything.

736
01:20:08,541 --> 01:20:09,541

737
01:20:11,083 --> 01:20:12,458
Sure I do.

738
01:20:15,916 --> 01:20:18,500
I'm going blind...

739
01:20:18,500 --> 01:20:20,791
and I'd like to see the house
before I do.

Let me go first.

743
01:20:39,291 --> 01:20:41,458
I was thinking,
of taking a trip south...

744
01:20:44,500 --> 01:20:46,708
just to see how the house
has survived.

No more periodicals,
do you hear me?

01:25:08,333 --> 01:25:10,458
I wish the Germans had burned
the whole lot of them.

759
01:25:12,375 --> 01:25:14,291
Well, at least
if the Italians had just...

760

painted over it.

attribution

remained uncorrected.

763
01:25:28,125 --> 01:25:29,416
As time went on,

764
01:25:29,416 --> 01:25:32,041
the ownership, authorship,
and architectural credit

765
01:25:32,041 --> 01:25:33,333
further confused the points.

766
01:25:33,333 --> 01:25:36,000
So that over the years the world
perception was of a house

767
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:39,375
called Villa Badovici,
built by Le Corbusier.

right beside it

769
01:25:43,583 --> 01:25:45,750
