Paris Vu Par… (ej svensk text)

Six major directors of the French New Wave each contribute a sparkling short film about a different neighbourhood in the legendary city of lights. SAINT GERMAIN DES PRÉS - A classic New Wave tale of sexual mores told by Jean Duchet. GARE DU NORD - Told in one stunning tracking shot, a disillusioned young wife becomes aware of life's different possibilities in this segment by Jean Rouch. RUE SAINT DENIS - A witty exploration of encounters between a brassy girl and a mild-mannered dishwasher by Jean-Daniel Pollet. PLACE D'ETOILE - Eric Rohmer's near farcical tale of a salesman who mistakenly believes he has killed a man in the street with his umbrella. MONTPARNASSE ET LEVALLOIS - Jean Luc Godard's segment expands upon a plot line from “Une Femme est une Femme” about a girl who worries that she has mixed up letters written to two different lovers. LA MUETTE - Claude Chabrol ruthlessly critiques the lives of a constantly bickering burgeois couple, played by the director himself and Stephane Audran.
