Twice Academy Award nominated Ralph Fiennes and Elizabeth Debikci star in the true story of the Farnsworth House. Set in late 1940s Chicago, Debicki plays Dr Edith Farnsworth, a woman ahead of her time whose ambitious project to build the first glass house led her into a passionate but tempestuous love affair with the revolutionary Bauhaus architect Mies Van Der Rohe (Fiennes). Edith is a determined and fiercely independent woman, a progressive who stands against the conservatism of cold, drab post-war Chicago. She finds a fellow sprit in Mies Van Der Rohe, an emigre whose visionary aesthetic threatens the staid conventions of architecture. Using every penny of her savings, Edith commissions Mies to create a country house. Their combined ambition is audacious and truly avant-garde: to build a house completely made of glass. As construction begins, Edith and Mies chemistry is undeniable. But their shared passion brings out deep emotions, something Edith embraces but Mies is terrified of exposing. As the house takes shape, this tension between Edith’s practical needs is at war against Mies spartan perfection. Their fragile relationship explodes, a battle played out finally in court, where Edith must fight to get her vision and her freedom. Still admired today, Edith and Mies shared creation is a house of great beauty that helped inspire the modern world. < Back HANWAY FILMS PRIVACY POLICY.

CURRENT SLATEHANWAY - THE COLLECTIONSABOUT MADE IN ITALY <br/> Made In Italy is a heart-warming comedy set in glorious Tuscany about bohemian London artist Robert (Neeson) who returns to Italy with his estranged son Jack (Richardson) to make a quick sale of the house they inherited from his late wife. Neither expects to find the once beautiful villa in such a state of disrepair… Renovations go badly, and father and son find themselves at odds – not for the first time.

Then Jack falls for Natalia, a vivacious young Italian chef, who restores both body and soul with delights from her local trattoria - until the pair find their developing relationship in jeopardy from Natalia’s jealous and threatening ex-husband. As Robert and Jack painstakingly restore the villa to its previous glory, they also start to mend their relationship.
