MOODBOARD / BABYLON SUGGESTIONS

Houses told by the cinema are conceived as total works of art. Among the contemporary authors sensitive to this concept, one cannot fail to mention director Damien Chazelle. His latest movie Babylon, epic and spectacular, is a triumph of environments in which color and opulence mix with "rough", sometimes grotesque elements, in a 1920s Hollywood as we have never seen it before. Without falling into the typical clichés of the revival, the director deeply studies the furniture and fashion of the time to re-propose them in an unprecedented and unconventional key: the artistic result always passes through a study of history. From parties full of excesses and extravagance, to crowded sets of silent film masterpieces, passing through luxurious houses immersed in nowhere and vibrant jazz concerts, Chazelle stages timeless interiors, telling a story of Fellinian intensity to the nth degree.
