Interior Design in 8 Classic Films

Cinema is having a little moment right now—the annual Sundance Film Festival is just about to wrap up and awards season is currently in full swing. We take a look at eight classic films, each lauded for their visually striking set designs. From the dramatic minimalism of Bernardo Bertolucci's Il conformista to the technicolored world of Michael Gordon's Pillow Talk, click on through to see some classic film design inspiration.

Jacques Tati's 1958 French comedy, Mon Oncle, about one man's struggle with postwar France's fixation on modernism has one of the best set designs in film history—sets were built entirely from scratch by painter Jacques Lagrange. Color and lighting were both integral parts in helping to tell the story.
