LAIR
RADICAL HOMES AND HIDEOUTS OF MOVIE VILLAINS
About this Item: Tra Publishing, 2019. Black hardcover with silver gilt-stamped boards.
First Edition. Unpaginated with numerous b&w and color illustrations
and photographic reproductions throughout celebrating several iconic
villians lairs throughout modern film history (i.e. Star Wars, 007,
Doctor Strangelove, Superman, Diabolik, Lethan Weapon, North by
Northwest, The Incredibles, et alia): from futuristic fantasies to
deathtrap-laden hives, from dwellings in space to those under the sea,
pop culture and architecture join forces in these outlandish, primarily
modern homes.
Includes several essays in English like "Why do bad guys
live in good houses?" that ponder why big-screen villains often live in
architectural splendor; or ask, from a design standpoint, how th
villain's lair as popularized in many of our favorite movies offers a
stunning, sophisticated, envy-inducing expression of the warped drives
and desires of its occupant. BOOK CONDITION: Like New
