Das Leben des Ehepaars, das die amerikanische Designlandschaft wohl am bedeutendsten inspiriert, geprägt und verändert hat wurde verfilmt. ‘Eames: The Architect and The Painter’ eine Dokumentation von Jason Cohn und Bill Jersey, erzählt von James Franco, zeigt das Leben des Künstler-, Designer- und Architekten-Duos Charles und Ray.

‘The husband-and-wife team of Charles and Ray Eames are widely regarded as America’s most important designers. Perhaps best remembered for their mid-century plywood and fiberglass furniture, the Eames Office also created a mind-bending variety of other products, from splints for wounded military during World War II, to photography, interiors, multi-media exhibits, graphics, games, films and toys. But their personal lives and influence on significant events in American life — from the development of modernism, to the rise of the computer age — has been less widely understood. Narrated by James Franco, Eames: The Architect and the Painter is the first film dedicated to these creative geniuses and their work.’
