Production Designer Reviews Movie Mansions, from ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ to ‘Clueless’ - Розваги
I can listen to this man talk about set/production design all day.
Omg vanity fair please do part 2 !!
Requests for part two: The Notebook, Grand Budapest Hotel, Knives Out, Clue
Jumanji too
yes to knives out!!
Parasite!
I don't think any discussion of set design can be complete anymore without Knives Out.
Great choices. I will add Cruel Intentions, as the heightened production design was the one major positive of that film.
I could have watched ten more hours of this
It shows the amount of work and care the whole production put on to make a great scene.❤
Agreed!
Yes!! I hope he does more of these
Same!!! Production design is so great and sometimes underrated.
Same here 😍
Dude...the part where he explained about the car crash in Royal Tennenbaums blew my mind! I've watched it maybe 20 times and never picked up on it before though I guess subconsciously it will get everyone, that's why I love these videos :) Can he do a rundown of every set from every Wes Anderson film? I know they are spectacular and he really seems impressed by them but his insights are so good, they make you appreciate everything so much more.
Same
Right?! That movie is in my top ten favorites and I NEVER consciously noticed the shift in that scene. Brilliant.
I've always wanted to live in the practical magic house
ooh girl same
Yes, what a beautiful house

Favorite set ever was Juno's bedroom. That whole movie looked so lived in.
They definitely did a good job with that one. It made the entire movie feel relatable even though I had nothing directly in common with Juno
Juno and her bedroom were everything 15 year old me wanted to be and have, they did such a perfect job of capturing the weird cool girl aesthetic
Just thought to watch 5 minutes of this. Okay maybe 10. maybe 20.
WHERE"S THE REST?
Please make more of this! Kindly include the Call My By Your Name house, Bridget Jones' apartment, and the big house and cottage in Sense and Sensibility. :)
My = Me
This guy's just going over all my comfort films. This is great.
That's what I thought! I have to rewatch some of those. Why not watch The Holiday in the middle of summer....
@@GemmaJohnshat I rewatched The Holiday the other week. It was great.
That blue and white striped rug in Something's Gotta Give really tied the room together.
I wanted to see him chew someone out for bad set design lol
There was a bit of shade for The Family Stone. He said it was "surprisingly well done" lol. I felt that a little for the set designer.
Ive learned so much and it was all so PRETTY dont mind me im just watching all these films and looking at dream kitchens on pinterest
That house in North by Northwest is so beautiful that it's one of the three things I remembered about that film, the other two being the scene in the field with the plane and climbing on Mount Rushmore.
its so hard finding content like this! please make more!!!
This was great. Loved hearing him discuss some of my favorite movie houses. A friend of mine based her entire kitchen design on the one in Something's Gotta Give.
I love how positive he is! It would have been so easy to just talk about all the things that bug him about various set designs, but he doesn't. This was a pleasure to watch.
I can't believe they actually built the 'Holiday' cottage!!!!!
Yeah I honestly thought that was a real house too. The interior so perfectly matched the typical English cottage, and the exterior was just such a realistic and believable location. I was sure they used an existing location! Full marks Mr Hutman!
And they intentionally sagged the roof. :)
I could watch an entire series of this! Truly fascinating
It's wild he did Something's Gotta Give because after I saw that movie I wanted that desk in my bedroom so very much!!! I'd have a different view but I loved the idea!
I'm here for this content! My zoom background is the Something's Gotta Give living room.
Me, after watching this: am set designer now
The set design in pride and prejudice (2005) does a great job at making the regency era relatable. A lot of period pieces can feel impersonal, so set design is extremely important to make the homes feel real. If there's a part two, maybe bring up a period piece
Rear Window deserves a breakdown by Jon. So does The Handmaiden, Hero and Parasite.
I would love to know his review of Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, especially with how color is used throughout the film to tell a story!
Rosehill Cottage in The Holiday is my favorite house and place in all of cinema. If I ever come into a lot of money I would make an identical replica inside and out.
I want to see the set of Sabrina with Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford gone over...I love that movie! The garden scenes are so glamorous
Wonderful! I really enjoy hearing artists/experts discuss, evaluate, and critique subjects in their field.
I love this so much! I love the houses set in movies, especially The Holiday, You've Got Mail, and Practical Magic.
thank GOD ive been obsessed with the practical magic house for years
This video should go to Masterclass!!! love it!!
please....we need you for a MASTER CLASS on set design. Learned so much!!!
i really wanted him to talk about the house in parasite!
This man is just so good to listen to. Definitely didn't expect to watch the entire video. Well done, VF!
This is sooo good. I hope you continue this series with him!
Please do more of these - I love your analysis!
loved this. i have loved all of these movies and especially some of these sets. more please! i really love the house in 'it's complicated' - would love to see that one picked apart
Sense and Sensibility's sets were perfection, such carefully drawn distinctions. The doors!
Amazing video! I really enjoy this kind of content. we need more :)
This is amazing! Learning so much from this.
Love his insight but I can't get over the fact that in his own home he has one set of curtains with tab tops and the adjacent one is using rings.
Chile !
I’m hoping that he normally doesn’t have window treatments there, but needed to block the light for filming so he just used what he had on hand
I know right, kept distracting me
You had me at The Royal Tenenbaums
wallah ! its one of my top 5 films of all time.
Most of these are my favorite movies, and now I know why.
ohh i hope you have this man in more videos, this is one of the most interresting ones ever!!!!!!!
REALLY enjoyed Jon Hutman, please bring him back for more!
I think set design is fascinating and how the choices inform the characters and vice versa. I could listen to this gentleman do many many more reviews.
Bing him back for August, of Osage County and Knives Out
This made me love production design even more, what an amazing job.
I’ll take a whole series of this bloke talking production design, please and thank you.
An absolute treat. I love exploring the creative process of fundamental yet lesser celebrated key figures in movie making
I had no idea I would enjoy this video so much! Apparently I love set design!
I need a part 2 of this so he can talk about Coyote Ugly!
Practical Magic is my absolute favorite
this is incredible, more of this
Do an episode about tv series! (House of Cards, Game of Thrones etc)
I’d love to see him talking about Green Card, with its gorgeous greenhouse inside the apartment an that lovely terrace. Such an unusual manhattan apartment
Nancy Meyers films are great blueprints for wonderful and romantic kitchens.
A truly fascinating watch and so insightful. Shame it was only half an hour long! It leaves me curious as to what he thinks are the biggest big-budget production design failures/disappointments and for which specific reasons!
would love to see Knives Out in part 2 of this
i love all these sets!
Set design is so important. I really enjoyed seeing Crazy Rich Asian after reading the book, because I didn't even have a framework to picture the opulence that was described.
I love the house in "Something’s Gotta Give", for me it's the definition of the Hamptons style. It was amazing to learn so much about these different movie homes' interiors. Can we please have some more? I like the idea of part 2 with more movie or TV series sets.
I love the fact that he mentions being quarantined because of COVID as if someone may not know... priceless.
The townhouse in You’ve Got Mail is implied to have been passed down by at least one generation, so in my opinion having the trimmings consistent throughout the apartment makes sense!
All my favourite movie houses in one vid! 😍
Wow! Something gotta give is my favorite house.
Wish he review Miss Pettigrew too.
My mom and I LOVE Practical Magic and have often talked about how that is our dream house. The kitchen, the staircases, the garden, the fact that it’s right next to the sea.... it’s heaven.
Maybe talk about the metaphors of Parasite and how it's house design sets are either undesirable or uptight?
Please do another video like this, VF!
starting crying as soon as i saw that love actually scene
so interesting, morepleasethankyou
He designed Something’s Gotta Give house??? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Since I saw that movie it became my dream house!! Perfection ❤️
Love this. If you do a part two, I'd love to see Parasite, Clue, Knives Out, and Scream
I love this. make more videos like this.
Please comment on "Call me by your name" - the most amazing villa/set I`ve ever seen in a movie!!
True, it had an amazing atmosphere! The best parts where outdoors though, I don't know if that's his area
I love that he chose so many female directors to highlight
aw they didnt mention cher's columns that date all the way back to 1972!
The Practical Magic house is my favorite movie house of all time. I want to live there! (Without the family curse lol)
I would love to see him talk about the series Hannibal about Hannibals house
Very educational
I wished Jon reviewed the bedroom design from Failure To Launch. The set design in that movie was really good.
the choice of films in this tells you more about this specific man than about production design in general.
all my favorite movies????
now i know what i want to do for the rest of my life: production designer...
25:05 - _"A set is supposed to be background. You don't want any one detail to distract or overwhelm the story…"_
There you go, production design, in a nutshell. Good production design should be invisible to the audience and allow for the immersive sense of the film.
I love that to an American that the cottage in the holiday is considered “tiny” ha
request for part 2! Knives out, Hocus Pocus, Get Out, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Notebook, Us, SnowPiercer (even though it doesn't take place in a house but would still be very interesting), Jojo Rabbit, What We Do In The Shadows, The Shinning, Marriage Story
I agree with the other comments. If you have time/inclination, please do more!
As someone who is soon going to school for Interior Design, this is fascinating to me.
"It's Complicated" is still my favorite movie house.
Great inspiration for me , even I am a Robotics Engineer with theatre set design background.
Delightful!
Pleaaaaaaaaaase do more production design videos
Also my profession and what a deep joy to hear someone speak the same language. I've never forgotten that Hamptons house in 'Somethings gotta gove'- it was so beautifully done and really enriched Keaton's character. I disagreed about 'Clueless' as while the character is clearly defined in the set design and it is supposed to be an 'ugly' McMansion, it didn't have to be offensive to the eye and while the closet was a great idea, the black space behind her rails bothered me then and bother me now.
Vanity Fair you're killing it
The only thing I remember about "Something's Got To Give" is how much I loved the house.
Can we get more of these?
that cottage in The Holiday is still to this day why I want to own a cottage
Additional part two requests: Amelie and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. I would love to hear Jon explain how to make a set "pop" when lighting is used so thoughtfully.
I waited, against hope, for the house in "War of the Roses"... consider for next edition please!?!
Why doesn't this video have more views??
