Charles and Ray Eames are well known for their contributions to the modern design of furniture, architecture, and even film. This film, which is subtitled “After Five Years of Living,” is a celebration of the modular structure they built in 1949 on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The emphasis in the film and in the house is not on architecture but rather on the sense of space and the feeling of interrelationship between building and site. Using exclusively a series of still images, the filmmakers have chosen to create a kind of kaleidoscope of brief, individual fragments that blend together on the screen into a harmonious whole. The meditative and perfectly fitted score is by the gifted Hollywood composer Elmer Bernstein. (MoMA Circulating Film Library Catalog)
