A love triangle of jealousy in the Parisian art scene of the 1930s is brought to life in a stylish docufiction about iconic artist and architect Eileen Gray, who built her modernist dream house on the Riviera, only to be upstaged by Le Corbusier.
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 – but where they serve the narrative of a brilliant female artist who spent a long life in the shadow of her male colleagues.

影片讲述三个出租车司机在奥运会前的北京两年间的点滴生活片段，以他们的视角去反映出北京为了举办奥运会所发生的一些方方面面的变化。在奥运会期间，出租车司机是北京的窗口，他们离中国的心脏最近，他们一天14个小时都在听广播和谈话节目，这些出租车司机可以谈天说地，无所不知、无所不晓；通过出租车司机这一个社会小层面，真实反映了北京很多独特而与众不同的气息；从某种角度来讲，出租车司机们是一个城市最好的见证。
