PARIS 36

A film by Christophe Barratier
PG-13, 120min, In French with English subtitles

“This immensely enjoyable French musical seeks to create, stylistically and emotionally, the tone of French Popular Front films of the 1930s.”
-Philip French, The Observer

Spring 1936, a working-class district in the north of Paris. In the center of town is the peeling façade of an old shuttered music hall, the Chansonia. Pigoil, a newly unemployed stage-hand, Milou, a hotheaded electrician and a skirt-chaser, and Jacky, former sandwich man, decide to take hold of their destiny by occupying the Chansonia and producing the “hit” musical that will allow them to buy the hall.
