The Price of Desire

About This Movie

The Price of Desire offers a nuanced glimpse into the life of Eileen Gray, an architecture pioneer whose work often went overlooked in her time. The film captures that palpable tension between creativity and desire, particularly through the complex relationships with Badovici and Le Corbusier. The atmosphere is rich, deeply evocative of the era, with a lush aesthetic that mirrors Gray's own designs. Orla Brady embodies Gray's spirit with a performance that is both delicate and resilient. The pacing feels contemplative, allowing us to soak in the moments of inspiration and conflict that shaped her life. It's less about the grand statements and more about the subtleties of personal struggle and artistic dedication.
