When Zazie’s mother comes to Paris to meet her lover, she leaves her daughter with her uncle Gabriel. The reckless niece, however, leaves Gabriel’s apartment and decides to visit Paris by subway. With the employees on strike, the runaway girl gets Gabriel into trouble in a chaotic Paris.

Louis Malle’s whirlwind adaptation of Raymond Queneau’s classic novel transforms its linguistic wordplay into an eye-popping, absurdist visual comedy. Art directed by none other than William Klein, Zazie is an unstoppably impulsive, high-speed trip through Paris that accelerates with abandon.
