Minger previously told Variety, "It is a case of setting the record straight, yes, but it was never about making a 'cancel culture' film about [Le Corbusier]. Of course, emotionally, we are on her side, but we were more interested in the different layers where the violation actually took place."The laterTempe Pailla villa made by Gray in 1934 nearby in theCte d'Azur hit the market this fall for $3.87 million.
