Projection - Grand Hôtel - Edmund Goulding

On the occasion of the Festival du Film d'Architecture organized by the Maison de l'Architecture de Lorraine, IECA will be screening Edmund Goulding's masterpiece Grand Hôtel (1932). This emblematic work of the Hollywood Golden Age will be commented on by Aurore Renaut, IECA director and lecturer.

Adapted from the best-selling German novel, Grand Hotel features one of the most prestigious casts in MGM studio history: Greta Gabo, Joan Crawford, John Barrymore, Wallace Beery in a sumptuous Art Deco set entirely reconstructed in the studio by artistic director Cedric Gibbons. All produced by the talented young producer Irving Thalberg, who inspired Elia Kazan to make The Last Mogul starring Robert De Niro.
