Cinematheque: Six Films by Alain Resnais

Resnais’s first international blockbuster is a musical comedy about life, love and Parisian real estate that features snippets from more than 30 French hit songs. Its characters seamlessly transition from speaking in the voices of the actors portraying them to singing in the voices of major French entertainers, from Edith Piaf and Maurice Chevalier to Johnny Hallyday and Serge Gainsbourg. France, 1997, 35mm, color, 120 min., subtitled.
