One of a dozen or so films created by the modern design team of Charles and Ray Eames, known for their bold experiments in furniture design, architecture, and multimedia, House is a portrait of the structure the couple built in 1949 on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The emphasis is less on architecture or film than on the sense of space and intimate relationship between building and site. Composed entirely of stills, the film blends individual fragments to form a cohesive whole, with color, reflections, light, and the pattern of shadows as recurring motifs.
