Paris 36

The place is Paris, France, and the time is 1936, in this compellingly retro drama set in and around Chansonia, a music hall whose existence is jeopardized by the political tumult giving rise to fascism. As the manager (Gerard Jugnot) struggles to keep the hall's doors open and the antique shows running, the sudden appearance of a beguiling performer (Nora Arnezeder) adds a fresh jolt to the hopes of all. Clovis Cornillac, Kad Merad co-star. 120 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; deleted scenes; audio commentary; interview; featurettes. In French with English subtitles.
