Tudor City

Article Abstract:

'Elizabeth' and 'Shakespeare In Love' are both set in the Elizabethan era but have vastly different production designs. 'Shakespeare In Love' production designer Martin Childs made liberal use of porous surfaces in his milieus that served merely as a background and no other purpose, while 'Elizabeth's John Myhre featured strong visual impressions and pictorial power. Minimal decoration was the order of the day for 'Elizabeth's designs, with the towering cold stone only occasionally relieved by tapestries and veils.

Darkness on the edge of town

Article Abstract:

Stanley Kubrick's last film, 'Eyes Wide Shut,' is a fitting finale for a director whose work is always a source of astonishment. Kubrick, whose film credits include 'Full Metal Jacket,' 'The Killing,' '2001: A Space Odyssey,' 'Barry Lyndon' and 'A Clockwork Orange,' is known for his meticulously designed sets. Kubrick, who passed away in the spring of 1999, believes that the architecture of the set is an integral part of the entire film.
