The Playtime reference

The design of the Mattel offices in Barbie had us shuffling in our cinema seats. It bears more than a passing resemblance to the grey cubicles of the office in Jacques Tati’s Playtime of 1967.
Gerwig’s other film references were broad, from the 2005 animated film Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus to The Wizard of Oz, and from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure to Gene Kelly’s painter’s garret in An American in Paris.

2. A nod to Psycho

Weird Barbie’s house is made up of unusual angled blocks. Amongst other references, it was partly influenced by Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho – it sits on top of a hill and has a winding stair path leading up to it.

Barbie film references, side by side. 1/3

1. The Dawn of Barbie – 2001: A Space Odyssey

The Barbie teaser trailer had already shown us there was going to be a big nod to Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. The big screen experience does not disappoint: The opening sequence’s homage to 2001‘s Dawn of Man sequence has garnered guffaws of acknowledgement from film buffs far and wide.
.
Instead of apes in the savannah being enlightened by the monolith, in Barbie we find young children being enlightened by the appearance of a huge Barbie (Margot Robbie) with 10-foot legs.
.
The children smash up their ugly, traditional dolls once Barbie has shown them what a doll can be, in the same way that it dawns on 2001‘s apes that by smashing bones they can be used as tools, thus changing the course of evolution.
.
This Barbie scene is set to the same fanfare music as the 2001: Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra. This music also returns later in the film when, after living in the female dominated Babie Land, Ken learns that patriarchy rules in the real world.
.
There’s also another Kubrick reference: Sasha asks her mum if she’s “shining” with Barbie, in reference to the psychic ability explored in The Shining.
.
Many years ago we had our own Film and Furniture Djinn chair as seen in 2001 A Space Odyssey upholstered in fuchsia pink. There were several reasons for this as discussed in articles on the website, but perhaps we were channelling our inner Barbie!

The A to Z of Film and Furniture. Z = A Zed & Two

The A to Z of Film and Furniture.
Z = A Zed & Two Noughts

We made it to Z! What an epic feat we put upon ourselves with this A to Z series. Did you enjoy the journey?
Last but not least in this series, we have a film about, erm... obsession and death: Peter Greenaway's A Zed & Two Noughts, which feature some expansive and particularly symmetrical sets.
