Our take

Merging documentary and fiction, this neorealist drama from Nicolas Klotz sees two homeless men cross fateful paths one New Year’s Eve. A nocturnal odyssey through the streets of Paris made with a largely nonprofessional cast, Paria lends a compassionate eye to the city’s marginalized inhabitants.
