Paris 36

Music halls, romance, and danger. This is Paris, 1936.

A warm, music-filled historical drama set in 1930s Paris that balances romantic and social themes against the backdrop of political upheaval and the looming shadow of fascism.

A star is born in a time of both celebration and instability in this historical drama with music from director Christophe Barratier. In the spring of 1936, Paris is in a state of uncertainty; while the rise of the Third Reich in Germany worries many, a leftist union-oriented candidate, Léon Blum, has been voted into power, and organized labor is feeling its new power by standing up to management.
