architecture in film

[(kelvin)]

I also love the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired bathroom in The Shining.

I think that was LeCorbusier, wasn't it?

My source was Vince Lobrutto's Kubrick bio, where on pp 417 it says: "The bathroom where Grady and Torrance have their eerie and frightening discussion was based on a men's room in an Arizona hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright." Not an infallible source, of course.

We also mustn't forget Greenaway's Belly of an Architect here.

You may be right after all. Look at this site I found:

However, I'm quite sure that the bathroom was indeed designed by a great architect (Wright, in this case). So, it was no copy and no set, in my opinion.

As for the use of architecture, I would also refer to The Third Man and Vienna's suburban canalisation which is commonly considered as a masterpiece of construction. As for set design, think of Metropolis and Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari.

If this hotel is in oregon...I stayed there once.

I'm positive the bathroom in The Shining was a set.  I don't know if it was a book on Kubrick or the Life in Pictures film but I recall seeing Kubrick hanging through one of the mirrors in the bathroom to shoot parts of the scene.

Hm, in that case I was mistaken twice.
