Paris 36

French writer and director Christophe Barratier returned with another winning musical and heart-warming film. The story about a Parisian neighborhood before the second world war through a music hall where people fall in and out of love while their hopes and dreams are created and shuttered. Barratier cleverly uses the romantic postcard image of Paris to bring a fresh perspective on the familiar story through winning music and a stellar cast of mostly unknown actors. French stars Kad Merad and Pierre Richard provide solid support. The film doesn't hide its intents and will please its target audience, the Francophile. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
