Abstract

Attentive to all modern media, such as the mainstream press and radio, Le Corbusier never lost his interest in cinema. Between Pierre Chenal's film Architectures d'aujourd'hui (1930) and the multimedia show Poème électronique (1958), his work also found its way onto screens. Present in propaganda films such as Jean Epstein's Les Bâtisseurs (1938), he was able to present his work after 1945 in the films of numerous directors, while also having a regular presence in television programs of the time. Attention is drawn to Nicole Vedrès's film La Vie commence demain (1949), whose real hero is less the actor Jean-Pierre Aumont than the Unité d'habitation de Marseille.
