“For them, these names like Painter and Architect, they weren’t job
descriptions. They were ways of looking at the world.”
This fascinating documentary is a celebration of the lives and work of prolific husband and wife design duo, Charles and Ray Eames. They were widely regarded as American icons and creative geniuses, highly influential and successful in furniture design and architecture, as well as filmmaking and graphic design. The film concentrates on the couple’s personal story using archived films and stills, along with new interviews with their friends, those they worked with, and experts in the design field. Narrated by James Franco.
