What Paris 36 Is About

Paris in 1936: the Popular Front has won, strikes and occupations are everywhere, and what is rising in Germany is on everyone's mind. When a small music hall in the northern districts shuts down, the staff who lose their jobs try to run the place themselves. A young singer named Douce becomes a star on that stage while the far right grows louder in the same streets. Barratier keeps the sentimental register of The Chorus: songs, nostalgia and a dangerous decade behind them. The period detail is careful; the politics stay in the background.
