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?
Leave your thoughts about Paris 36.
| MovieTime, ABC Radio NationalJulie RiggIt's a complete confection -- handsome, sentimental. In the end, it works as entertainment. |
| Daily Telegraph (Australia)Des PartridgeSome of the musical numbers are way too elaborate to have been presented in a suburban music hall, but if you want reality, this isn't the movie you're looking for. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersBarratier juggles his large cast of eccentrics sensationally, each character given the chance to breathe and evolve taking on a life of their own so distinct and one of a kind I was almost in awe. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonLike Amélie's scrubbed-up "City of Lights," Paris 36 is an antiseptic arthouse trifle, so eager to soothe that it only numbs. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekLike a souffle overstuffed with ingredients. But it looks great on the plate, and enough of it is succulent to make up for the overcooked portions. |
| New York TimesA.O. ScottSo shameless in its pandering, sentimental vision of Frenchness as to constitute something of a national embarrassment. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIt takes a light touch to do pastry well, and Paris 36 was made with a heavy hand. |
| At the Movies (Australia)David StrattonThis is the sort of sentimental, nostalgic film that constitutes a pleasant night at the movies -- it's churlish to protest that it could have been much more. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasParis 36 has a beguilingly authentic sound and offers a blend of impassioned sentiment and harsh, even brutal grit |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonBeautifully realised homage to 30s theatre and French cinema, this is thoroughly charming and entertaining throughout. |
