and then there is “paris 36. ” this movie, directed by christophe barratier (“les choristes”), is perhaps not horrendous enough to bring down a proud national cinema all by itself, but it is so shameless in its pandering, sentimental vision of frenchness as to constitute something of a national embarrassment. filmed on a set whose fanciful evocation of a parisian faubourg makes “moulin rouge! ” look naturalistic (and “amélie” look like a documentary), “paris 36” is unstinting in its deployment of gallic clichés .

but “paris 36” works so hard to charm you that you may be tempted to like it out of pity, which in the course of two long hours can start to feel like fondness. its main characters, after all, are such sad, lovable little frenchmen .

paris 36
is like that - - an old - fashioned story set around a music hall. cutting - edge, it' s not. but if taken in the right spirit, enjoyable .
pavillon de l' arsenal is an, information, documentation, exhibition center of urbanism and architecture from paris and parisian metropole .
i love the material of the dress, though, and it fits her very well. very chic for a reception in paris .
for all of the endings pigoil describes, paris 36 also offers new beginnings, from the front populaire in 1936 to the last scenes' focus on yet another new year' s eve, 10 years later. in 1945, the prisons are releasing inmates early to make room for
collaborators ,
a harbinger of an infinitely darker next era. even as it looks back, paris 36 is strangely modern in its more hopeful plot, the restoration of the chansonia. pigoil and his friends basically create their own opportunity, fashioning their own fresh start in response to a seeming conclusion. in this they seem topical, much like those audience members who might be dealing lost jobs and dreary futures, and their innovation and resilience are heartening .
esma is located in the 7th arrondissement in paris. it is close to public transport and is within easy reach from airports and train stations .
her latest look from the house was equal parts refined and directional, just the right fit for an evening at the british embassy in paris .
paris 36 is ultimately about men and power. the friendships among pigoil, milou, and aspiring imitator jacky (kad merad) are at its center, but they are repeatedly at the mercy of the political climate, which has brought hope for workers' empowerment, but also extremism and corruption. the cumulative effect is that the women, what few there are in paris 36, are at the mercy of the men. they serve as objects of derision and desire, at turns punished and insulted, lusted after and claimed. pigoil' s wife viviane (ƒlisabeth vitale) is plainly demonized for cheating on him and first abandoning, then taking jojo. even the beautiful young singer douce (nora arnezeder), though she is the key to the chansonia' s success, is not spared from narrative abuses .
for lovers of parisian theatre, the first days of 2011 have a slightly melancholy edge. on new year' s eve the hugely influential english director peter brook finally ended his 36 - year tenure at the experimental bouffes du nord theatre in the french capital .
one of paris’s best - value hotels, michelet odéon is also in one of the city’s most beautiful locations, overlooking the lovely 18th - century théâtre de l’odéon. from £96 .
it should all be more fun than it is. but mr. barratier, in trying to evoke the great french films of the 1930s and ’40s, mistakes their elegant clarity for simple - mindedness and treats his material and his audience with condescension. he wants us to think about the bad old times and the good old movies, but he’s hopelessly mixed up. the times were, in many ways, much worse than “paris 36” lets on. but the movies were rarely this bad .

somehow it’s possible. “paris 36” hustles through a busy hive of plots and subplots, most of them surrounding the efforts of pigoil and his buddies to revive the moribund chansonia. also to rescue it — and a comely chanteuse called douce (nora arnezeder) — from the clutches of the neighborhood’s chief gangster (bernard - pierre donnadieu). threaded through it all are vintage - style french songs (by reinhardt wagner and frank thomas) to go with the vintage clothes, the vintage cars and the vintage politics. (the muted vintage of the film comes courtesy of tom stern, the cinematographer who has given most of clint eastwood’s recent films their burnished, somber tones. )

paris 36
takes place in a neighborhood known locally simply as the faubourg (the district). remarkably, this entire neighborhood - - streets, facades, cafes - - was built as a set outside prague. it' s one of those movie neighborhoods not crowded with extras. like the street in spike lee' s
do the right thing ,
it' s a place where everyone knows one another; the street' s a stage, and the neighbors are players on it. they all know about monsieur tsf (pierre richard), nicknamed after a french broadcasting station. he never leaves his room, but the jazz on his radio keeps everyone humming .
if this sounds like bleak fare, it is. in fact, most of the movie' s themes are very dark, which should not be surprising given that it begins with that murder confession. still, paris 36 strives, with considerable success, to balance its darkness, not just with humor but also with visual flamboyance: colorful costumes and happily artificial sets. its musical flair is reserved for its specific performance moments: jojo playing his accordion on the street, exuberant group rehearsals, and, of course, shows at the chansonia. during these performances, swirling camera action lightens the mood considerably, but such moments remain contained, never spilling over into the
real life
drama taking place off stage .
the plot, located in a neighbourhood in the 15th arrondissement in paris, conformed primarily by design offices belonging to the automotive industry, is deep and irregular in its shape, and was occupied by an office building that gave on to the street and two workshops that gave on to the interior patio. the scales considered for this project surpass the simple question of the building itself; this project consistent of 36 apartments situated around a long patio that the inhabitants walk along and that others who live on higher levels, further away can observe. this interval brings structure and order to a number of buildings built on the same lot, which only apparent remain, is the restored hall that stretches out across the patio. ”
brook' s 1963 film of lord of the flies is regarded as a classic, but the poor reception in britain of a 1978 stage production of antony and cleopatra, starring alan howard and glenda jackson, heralded a long period of work at the dilapidated former variety venue in paris .
in a popular suburb of paris in 1936, the spring election of a left - wing government brings wild new hopes and sees the rise of extremist ideas. three unemployed stage workers decide to produce a new show at the music hall where they worked up until just a few months ago .
at the beginning of paris 36, pigoil (gérard jugnot), portly, rumpled, and despairing, shuffles into a police station. we learn why when a detective remarks that he
doesn' t look like a killer .
with that, pigoil begins to explain: his story, he says, is inseparable from the story of the chansonia, the shabby music hall at the center of a blue - collar neighborhood. on new year' s eve 1935, he faced a series of endings: a deadline to pay a debt to gangsters, the end of his marriage, and the suicide of dorfeuil (jean lescot), the chansonia' s owner. at that moment, pigoil recalls, the chansonia was shut down, putting him and his fellow employees out of work .
set in a suburb of north - east paris between december 1935 and july 1936 during the
revolutionary
period of the popular front (who introduced the first paid holidays and a shorter working week). three unemployed performers decide to take over by force the music hall where they worked a few months earlier and stage a show there .
stroll along rue des francs - bourgeois with detours up rue vieille - du - temple and rue de sévigné. if you’re still in the mood for museums, pop into musée carnavalet (23 rue de sévigné; urltoken; tue - sun 10am - 6pm; free) for a snapshot of paris history, with its memorabilia of the french revolution .
in a capital offering such a stimulating culinary environment as paris, la réserve rises to the challenge with two restaurants, overseen by executive chef jérôme banctel. at the heart of the 8th arrondissement, a few steps from the champs - elysées and the place de la concorde, le gabriel and la pagode de cos embody two interpretations of a single - minded vision of excellence .
spend the morning in the latin quarter, where the place du panthéon is one of paris’s grand architectural set pieces. the dome of le panthéon (0033 1 44 32 18 00, daily 10am - 6. 30pm, admission €7. 50) is currently under scaffolding but you can still go inside to admire this vast mausoleum, where france’s great men repose in the crypt .
finally someone allows her to dress like an attractive woman. the house of mcqueen to be precise. the more mcqueen she wears the better. they also know what works in paris. it’s a cute belt but the dress would look better without it. also i think she should have left one or two jewelry pieces away: i’d say the watch and i possibly the gobstopper ring .
located at only 5 minutes by walk from the place de l' etoile, overlooking the famous avenue des champs élysées, this modern and comfortable hotel is also very close to the trocadero and the eiffel tower. the 36 rooms, in a contemporary classic style, are equipped with a flat - screen tv and a courtesy tray (tea – coffee facility). you can enjoy a relaxing moment in our lounge where a daily national, international press and magazines are at your disposal. free wi - fi is available throughout the hotel. a buffet breakfast with a wide choice of hot or cold products is served every morning from 7 am to 10. 30 am .
in the 1930s, in no particular neighborhood in paris, an ancient music hall named the chansonia wheezes along with performers who are past their sell - by dates. it' s a time of social upheaval in france; the popular front, a left - wing coalition, has taken power, and the rise of hitler is stirring up french right - wingers. the chansonia' s cast and crew are solidly socialist .
my first reaction was wow! ! a really different look for kate – sexy fitted black lace, shoes that are not pumps and an interesting and modern necklace. it’s edgy but still ladylike. my only quibbles relate to the belt – i hate them on evening wear – and that watch! ! her hair suited the outfit – glossy waves but not girly. the shoes are amazing and up to the minute. kate hits a home run in paris .
brook' s revolutionary methods were always fluid, however, as piper recalls .
decisions were never final. when we were rehearsing la tempête in paris, we brought a whole load of earth into the theatre for a week before we decided it wasn' t right. in the end we went with a patch of sand and a single rock. we had an orange box which became a boat and was then worn on ariel' s head. this became the image on the poster, but it had all come from rehearsal .
brook began what many have seen as a creative exile in paris after enjoying british success in 1970 with rsc productions of marat / sade and the anti - vietnam play us, and finally with a midsummer night' s dream, starring frances de la tour and ben kingsley. his guiding principle, regarded as startling at the time, was that the stage should be left uncluttered so the imagination could work. his 1968 handbook, the empty space, set out the idea that the audience is central to the atmosphere of a piece. elaborate sets, according to this theory, just divide the actors from the public .
friday night' s performance of mozart' s the magic flute was the 85 - year - old' s last production as the artistic head of a venue that has become synonymous with inventive, avant - garde work. as brook' s opera heads off on a european tour that reaches london' s barbican in march, the director is handing over the reins at the bouffes to two younger frenchmen: the former deputy head of paris' s opéra - comique, olivier mantei, and the theatre entrepreneur and modern music specialist olivier poubelle. both have been part of brook' s wider creative team for some time .
filmed in panavision 2. 35, this musical doesn' t pretend to be glamorous, but rather it shows the value of friendship and persistence in one' s beliefs. fascism and communism threaten even this little neighborhood of blue collar workers in paris just before ww2. the film shows that the power of music and song transcend all hardships. a very touching yet entertaining musical - drama. i highly recommend it! i would love to purchase the dvd, but i want it in blu - ray, already available in france, but without english subtitles. please hurry amazon u. s. , and stock this title in blu - ray !
the setting is spring 1936; a working - class district in the north of paris. this neighborhood probably had a name once but now everyone simply calls it the faubourg. in early may, three residents of the faubourg - pigoil, milou, and jacky - still sulk over the closing of the chansonia four months ago. supported by the locals who live to the rhythm of monsieur tsf’s radio, the three friends decide to take hold of their destiny by producing the “hit” musical the chansonia has always needed. with the help of the town, and the arrival of a mysterious and beautiful young actress named duce, pigoil, milou, and jacky bring the magic of the stage back to the chansonia .
it’s an ideal time to visit paris; the days are long and warm enough to make the most of the city’s innumerable café terraces and the cultural season is in full swing, with a hit list of current exhibitions including henri cartier - bresson at the centre pompidou, robert mapplethorpe and bill viola at the grand palais, impressionists at musée marmottan, and van gogh at musée d’orsay. this itinerary covers many of the classic sights (saving a visit to the eiffel tower, the champs - elysées and the louvre for another time), threading through the left and right banks either side of the river seine, with tempting shopping, galleries and cafés along the way. most of it can be done on foot – the best way to absorb the atmosphere .
a man is charged with murder. he is pigoil, the aging stage manager at chansonia, a music hall in a paris faubourg. his confession is a long flashback to new year' s eve, 1935, when he discovers his wife is unfaithful and galapiat, the local mobster, closes the music hall. over the next few months, pigoil loses custody of his beloved son, jo - jo, and must find work. pigoil and his pals take over the chansonia as a co - op; galapiat is momentarily benign. their star is the young douce, a girl from near lille for whom galapiat lusts. she in turn falls in love with milou, a local red. there are ups and downs, but mostly ups - but what about jo - jo and what about the murder ?

for pigoil (gerard jugnot), the left - wing stage manager, things are going badly. the club' s fascist landlord has padlocked the doors for rent in arrears, pigoil and his friends are all out of work, his wife has left him, and a silence has fallen upon the neighborhood. the burden, he feels, rests on his shoulders. jacky (kad merad), a man who wears a sandwich board for the theater but believes he can do impressions, becomes a supporter. milou (clovis cornillac), a young radical, helps him reopen the doors again. but it is not enough to have the doors open; customers must use them .
the day is saved by the miraculous appearance of douce (nora arnezeder), a chantoozy who is not only said to be a future star, but actually has the charisma to prove it. she' s an overnight success, the show comes together, but the day is only apparently saved. the situation is fraught with complications. there is the problem of pigoil' s gifted young son, jojo (maxence perrin), an accordionist now in the custody of his faithless mother, and the schemes of the fascist landlord galapiat (bernard - pierre donnadieu) .
it is inevitable that the movie ends with a smashing song - and - dance number starring douce and, of course, young jojo. it' s one of those numbers where the size of the cast (even including pigoil) seems improbable. not to mention the sound of the orchestra. the theater is too small to possibly support such a production, but never mind: hey, gang, let' s rent the old chansonia and put on a show !
the movie otherwise lacks a certain energy, advances somewhat creakily through its plot and contains mostly obligatory surprises. still, it' s pleasant and amusing. if i had seen it before i was born, i would have loved it .

spurred on by the election of a front populaire government promising to be pro - worker, the neighborhood comes together to occupy (quite militantly) the chansonia and restore it to its former glory. but it soon becomes apparent that each person has his own motives for participating in the resurrection, some less about the nostalgia represented by chansonia and more about personal gain, some honest and some ill - gotten. pigoil needs a paying job to regain custody of his son jojo (maxence perrin), the mobster galapiat (bernard - pierre donnadieu) sees the theater as an opportunity to consolidate his power, and the self - proclaimed

begin your morning tasting the parisian café lifestyle over coffee and a croissant at le petit suisse (16 rue de vaugirard), a tiny ancient café with a view over the jardin du luxembourg (and if you’re really keen, join the early morning joggers for a tour of the park first). if you don’t want an espresso, ordering a café - crème (white coffee) is quite acceptable at breakfast time (but not later in the day) .
walk past the beautiful neoclassical odéon theatre down rue de l’odéon, turning left onto boulevard st - germain, famed for fashion shops, cinemas and literary cafés. then turn right down rue de seine, where food shops soon give way to art and design galleries. you emerge at the seine near the illustrious institut de france, with a view of the louvre across the river. follow the quays westwards along quai voltaire, nicknamed quai des antiquaires, prime territory for window - shopping the antiques galleries .

there is plenty of evidence to support the argument that french film is alive and well. recent movies as diverse as “the class, ” “a christmas tale, ” “the secret of the grain” and “la france” might even lead a francophile cinephile to conclude that a new day of glory has arrived .
its overstuffed, preening tracking shots take in baguettes, berets and tricolor bunting, accompanied by the incessant squawking of accordions. most of the men sport droopy mustaches atop even droopier lips, and they smoke and sip vin rouge and speak sighingly of love and politics. why, look, it’s the eiffel tower! and there it is again! remarkably, no one kisses his fingertips and exclaims “sacre bleu! ” or “magnifique! , ” but i’d bet you euros to croissants that such a moment was left somewhere on the pathé cutting - room floor .
the number in the title refers to 1936, when the left - wing popular front government of léon blum came to power, initiating a period of intensified class struggle and political antagonism. mr. barratier takes this fraught and interesting moment of strikes, factory occupations, rising fascism and mass unemployment and turns it into the vague and gauzy backdrop for a nostalgic and improbable tale of music - hall shenanigans. there is nothing wrong with taking a whimsical or melodramatic view of history, but both the film’s humor and its pathos are glib and predictable, making the experience grating rather than charming .
certainly one can’t dislike pigoil (gérard jugnot, also seen in “les choristes”), who in the opening scenes loses almost everything: his backstage job at the chansonia music hall; his wife, who runs off with a fellow performer; and then his beloved son, an accordion prodigy named jojo (maxence perrin), who is taken from pigoil’s custody by heartless bureaucrats .

in this blue - collar neighborhood, the triumphant election of the popular front government is greeted with enthusiasm and hopes for a brighter tomorrow, yet stirs up all kinds of extremism. among the new government' s promises, the famous law on paid holidays that will allow numerous workers to see the sea for the first time .
in early may, three inhabitants of the faubourg, show - business workers and close friends, do not share other people' s wild hopes, the chansonia, the music hall that employed them, closed down four months earlier, leaving them all unemployed .
pigoil (gérard jugnot), a stage - hand, thirty years with the chansonia .
without a job, he could lose custody of his 12 - year - old son, jojo (maxence perrin) and have to give up his plans to take him to see the sea .
milou (clovis cornillac), a hotheaded electrician and a skirt - chaser. symbol of the
workers aristocracy ,
spokesman for every kind of demand, he is determinded to
change the world .
jacky (kad merad), former sandwich man at the chansonia. after carrying aroundthe names of stars on his sandwich board for years, jacky has started dreamingthat he will be the king of the music hall himself one day. convinced that he has a talent for imitation, he continually seeks engagements that he never finds .
supported by the locals who live to the rhythm of monsieur tsf' s (pierre richard) radio, the three friends decide to take hold of their destiny: they try to force the hand of fate by occupying the chansonia and producing the
hit
musical that will allow them to buy the place. each one of them has different motives but they all share the same goal: finding new balance in their lives .
in addition to their lack of experience, they have to deal with the hostile antagonism of the eighborhood
godfather
, galpiat (bernard - pierre donnadieu), and come to terms with the arrival of a mysterious and attractive young singer, douce (nora arnezeder) .

superbad’ s director trades salacious for affecting with his coming - of - age comedy adventureland .
irector greg mottola plays old songs in new keys and strikes dissonant, unsettling notes. his
—the drive to get laid existing side by side with the dread of the world where that leads. (the grown - ups were scarily unhinged. )
, which mottola wrote, is a coming - of - age picture made strange by its setting and the graceful tremulousness of its actors. it’s 1987, and the protagonist, james (jesse eisenberg), is stuck in a pittsburgh suburb with his parents between college and graduate school, working game booths in a dilapidated amusement park. still a virgin, he falls hard for em lewin (kristen stewart), who’s secretly carrying on with connell (ryan reynolds), the park’s too - cool, married fix - it guy. all the characters are old enough to live on their own but are still in the rooms they had as kids (the exception, connell, uses his mom’s basement for trysts), and they’re chafing miserably at their dependence. adventureland (the park) offers little in the way of liberation. the creaky rides with their deafening disco music seem adventure - free .
adventureland isn’t funereal, though—it’s light on its unhappy feet. eisenberg has been playing arrested heroes for a while, and he’s canny enough never to let you catch him drooping. his face is a fount of uncertainty between a helmet of curly hair and a big adam’s apple; his skinny frame lists from side to side as if he’s unable to muster the will to show gravity who’s boss; he has to contort to conceal his erections. what makes james so fascinating (and dismaying) is his compulsive blabbing; there’s nothing too personal he won’t say with the least bit of prodding. or no prodding. it all gushes out—his virginity, his crushes, his heartbreaks. the scenes in which he breathlessly confides in the older connell about his dates with em make you cringe, because his words make connell want em more. (the advice connell dispenses is meant to sabotage him .) the only mystery about james is that women find him attractive instead of embarrassing, ostensibly because he’s different from all the inconstant bad boys. mottola is smart to provide a contrasting defeatist geek, joel (martin starr), who cultivates a nihilistic detachment. at least james is in the world, absurdly hopeful, taking chances .
adventureland isn’t just a boys’ life. many scenes incorporate em’s perspective, and kristen stewart (late of twilight) seems more alive than she did opposite the vampire hunk with the tall forehead. she doesn’t over - diagram em’s emotions; her murk is vivid. it’s too bad mottola writes the adult parts so on - the - nose: it’s one thing for em to describe her stepmother as a “status - obsessed witch, ” another to have the actress telegraph that description in every line. and it’s a letdown when the movie doesn’t do more with snl ’s loony minimalists bill hader and kristen wiig as the park’s owners. (see wiig in ghost town to appreciate how uproarious a teeny - weeniest of inflections can be. )
but adventureland hits home—at least my home. mottola pumps up the soundtrack with music—the replacements, hüsker dü—i listen to when i want that old eighties feeling. i actually have a james - like impulse to blab about my identification with the movie’s needy, overintellectualizing hero: i could feel in my bones his self - disgust as he lay on his bed in his parents’ house, alienated from their values and lifestyle yet comfortable, too. (he doesn’t have to pay rent .) what makes the movie such an unexpectedly potent little number is that adventureland comes to stand for stagnationland; the real roller coaster (i. e. , life) is just outside the park .
is set, but for the petit bourgeois mind - set that settles for its bogus comforts .

great movie, great music, great acting, great photograph, great direction. in few words
ce magnifique
several years ago i had the occasion to watch les choristes and it anointed my soul. i was curious to see also other movies of director christophe barratier, and so i came on ...
several days after watching this movie, i finally decided that i was not entirely satisfied with what i had watched. i wanted more, and there is a large gap that is missing .
beautiful crafted musical during the hard early thirties in which the entire europe was collapsing due the crucial events to come .
this sugary musical tells the story of a parisian music hall in 1936. the place is failing, threatened by a ruthless landlord who makes common cause with fascists and an ...
