Product Description

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 mindbending 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 since their death dedicated to these creative geniuses and their work.

Review
Well-crafted and insightful. A must for those with an interest in modern design. --Sura Wood, Hollywood Reporter

Between the wide array of interviewees and surplus of colorful archival materials, the deftly assembled pic has nary a dull moment. --Dennis Harvey, Variety
