This film presents a single banal problem (how to sneak onto the Paris Metro) with several comic solutions.

Detailing the myriad means a fare evader can gain entry to the Paris Métro, this anarchic short by Luc Moullet unfolds with a droll, documentary-like pragmatism. As inventive as it is instructive in its schemes to buck the system, Barres carries out its institutional defiance with punk conviction.
