It's our new Production Design series, "The Furniture." Daniel Walber kicked things off last week with the bedroom in The Exorcist. Now a different era and public spaces - Editor
Thanks to Brooklyn and Carol, 2015 was a banner year for the 1950s department store. Both Eilis and Therese spend a fair amount of time as New York City shopgirls, selling to housewives and dealing with stern floor managers. Yet, despite the ostensibly common setting, Brooklyn's Bartocci's and Carol's Frankenberg's could not be more different.
The staff areas are a good place to start. Bartocci’s has a simple enough space for its employees, with open coat lockers to keep their belongings. It’s not beautiful, but the wood lends it a cozy quality. Production designer François Séguin (The Red Violin) and art directors Irene O’Brien (This Must Be the Place) and Robert Parle (Riddick) have a subtle, but assured touch.

"Brooklyn," the enchanting coming-of-age Oscar contender starring Saoirse Ronan and directed by John Crowley, is really two movies in one, traversing Ireland and New York in 1951, as Ronan's Eilis blossoms into a beautiful, independent woman. We stay with Eilis' Pov throughout: tightly-wound during initial scenes in Ireland, then opening up in New York for a new beginning, where she works in an upscale department store, studies to be an accountant and falls in love with Emory Cohen's Tony. Watch: 'Brooklyn' Nyfcc Winner Saoirse Ronan on Instinct, Insecurity, and Meaty Roles for Women: "It's getting better" "John knew that world in Ireland—it was his parents' generation—and it was a great education for me," recalled production designer Francois Seguin, who's French Canadian and Italian. "It was very organic. We found houses in Ireland and Montreal [the interior design was actually from the mid-'20s because people didn't redecorate until the.

In “Brooklyn,” Saoirse Ronan plays Ellis, a young Irish woman who leaves her hometown to travel to America and start life anew. “She went from one culture to another one,” explains production designer Francois Seguin during our recent webcam chat (watch below). He was tasked not only with recreating the look and feel of the 1950s, but with portraying the emotional journey the character takes as well. -Break- Subscribe to Gold Derby Breaking News Alerts & Experts’ Latest Oscar Predictions One of the ways Seguin and his team achieved this was by playing with the size of the spaces Eilis inhabits. Of her home in Ireland, he says, “It’s a bit small: the house is small, the shop she works in is small. She is in a small town.” Upon arriving in America, everything is shown to be much larger. “She suddenly has room to grow. She goes from a...

Last week, I wrote about how visual effects can help an audience escape into another world in a film. A movie’s sets can do the same thing, convincing the audience that it is in the same world as the characters, regardless of that world’s time period or geographic location. Indeed, sets can help build a world that does not even exist on earth. The Academy Award for Best Production Design (previously known as Best Art Direction) awards a film’s production designer, responsible for the overall sets, and its set decorator, responsible for filling up those sets with props, among other things. The category tends to reward a combination of period and fantasy films. But while period films certainly predominate, at least one fantasy title, sometimes more, scores every year. Contemporary nominees are rare. But what this category tends to value more than anything else is grandeur. Like most crafts categories,...

Fancy checking out one of the best films of the year? Here's our review of Brooklyn, starring Saiorse Ronan.
In amongst the showier performance-led movies to come this awards season, it's reassuring to see an unassuming coming-of-age story like Brooklyn receiving its fair share of plaudits too. Based on Colm Tóibín's novel of the same name, Brooklyn follows an immigrant's trans-Atlantic love song, set between south-east Ireland and New York City.
In the 1950s, Eilis Lacey (Saiorse Ronan) is a young Irish woman living in Enniscorthy who gets the opportunity of a lifetime when kindly priest Father Flood (Jim Broadbent) arranges for her to travel to Brooklyn and take up a job at a department store. Of course, Eilis jumps at the chance, but leaves behind her elder sister Rose (Fiona Glascott) and her mother Mary (Jane Brennan) for the glamour of America.

Park City — Sometimes the elements of a movie just gel together so well and you find yourself enjoying the ride so much that you instantly forgive the material for any of its inherent limitations. Case in point: John Crowley's new drama "Brooklyn," which premiered Monday night at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. After 20 minutes I'd written the not-so positive words "earnest" and "cutesy" in my notebook. Almost an hour and a half later I was so moved by what had transpired I was fighting back the tears. The picture isn't the achievement expected festival grand prize jury winner "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" is, but it's a damn good movie on its own terms. "Brooklyn" is based on the popular novel by Colm Tóibín and was adapted by another celebrated author, Nick Hornby ("About a Boy"). It begins in the early 1950s where Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan) doesn't see...

The series revolves around a powerful and corrupt 15th-century Italian family headed by patriarch Rodrigo Borgia (Jeremy Irons), who became Pope Alexander VI in 1492. Colm Feore (24; Bon Cop Bad Cop) plays Rodrigo’s arch nemesis Cardinal Giuliano Della Rovere. As for François Arnaud (J'ai tué ma mère; Yamaska), he plays Cesare Borgia, Rodrigo's son.
