Eames: The Architect & the Painter, 2011


  • It was cool learning more about them, but it also felt really surface. I was left wishing i knew more about the Eames' process rather than quick cut to "oh they figured it out."I also fell asleep for a little bit before the opening at the Met. it also really felt like it was made for TV, whatever that means.

    @dennetmint, @mikewolf, @jkraus, @jackiwarren what did y'all think?
  • also "what the fuck are these flowers?"
  • @george: I think you falling asleep for a little bit had very little to do with the content of the movie.

    Just sayin'.
  • I was both asleep for a tiny bit, and not entirely enthralled.
  • I thought it was a good overview... I feel like each aspect could be its own film (ie cranbrook years, eames as ladies man, studio process, 901 studio, etc) i didnt know that much about them so i enjoyed learning more-- dont know if i would recommend to someone who knows more than i...
  • I'm going to see it tomorrow, someone I know was good friends with Ray and has seen this so It will be interesting to see how this is.
  • it was decent. good overview, was hoping for more information on the physical process of the chair creation. the visuals in between scenes were a bit hoaky
  • this should have been the coda:



    @jkraus - watt's towers!
