What if the city was an endless photoshoot? Women rocking the sharpest looks by the finest couturiers of Paris and the sharpest black eyeliner draw attention away from the city’s best known streets, squares and panoramic views. Even the city has turned away from itself and gazes at the models. And the models – at times they turn away from the cameras and become Cities themselves.

Spontaneous and intuitive, always celebrating faces – the facial features of people as well as the public images of well-known figures – such is Reichenbach’s relaxed camera style. Having documented actress Brigitte Bardot, footballer Pelé, choreographer Maurice Béjart and many others, as well as co-directed F for Fake (1973) with Welles, he was always the servant to the idea that “the gaze is the way to still be amazed”. A pioneer of cinéma vérité, in this miniature Reichenbach plays with city iconography, touristic flânerie and voyeurist glances.
