Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for spy-story fans and the curious. Nobody is quite who they seem. Sits nicely alongside Shoah or Night and Fog. Set in the 1960s, and it looks the part.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1964: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

A sophisticated and beautifully constructed account of landscape change in and around Paris in the early 1960s. The film raises complex issues about the meaning and experience of modern landscapes and the enigmatic characteristics of features such as canals, pylons and deserted factories. Rohmer also explores the role of landscape within different traditions of modern art and design and refers to specific architects, artists and engineers.
