Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
1965. Six emblematic directors of the French New Wave revisit six neighborhoods of Paris. St. Germain des Prés (Jean Douchet), Gare du Nord (Jean Rouch), Rue Saint-Denis (Jean-Daniel Pollet), Montparnasse et Levallois (Jean-Luc Godard), Place de l’Étoile (Éric Rohmer) and La Muette (Claude Chabrol).
A tour through the arrondissements of Paris—or a mid-60s Nouvelle Vague prototype for Paris je t’aime—this omnibus anthology is a tribute from six filmmakers who would spend much of their careers mapping out the city so memorably. Featuring shorts from Jean Rouch, Jean-Luc Godard, and Éric Rohmer.
