Even if the beginning of the French New Wave and its first film has been much disputed, there has never been any doubt about the filmmakers who set out on their career paths in the late 1950s and early 1960s being contemporaries and kindred spirits They directed, edited, wrote scripts together; they watched each other\u2019s work and played minor roles in each other’s films.<\/p>\n
In the 1965 short-film anthology Six in Paris<\/i>, six very different authors meet \u2013 the pioneer Jean-Luc Godard, the baguette\u2011gangster\u2011film virtuoso Claude Chabrol, the documentary maestro Jean Rouch; the prosaic philosopher \u00c9ric Rohmer, and others \u2013 guiding us through the people, places and things of Paris. A quintessential collection of shorts, this selection won\u2019t induce the so\u2011called Paris syndrome \u2013 disappointment in the commercialised romanticisation of the metropolis \u2013, but it doesn’t shy away from its mythology either.<\/p>\n
The concept of the anthology is simple \u2013 six miniatures capturing the insights of six contemporaries in six urban locations \u2013 and, through today\u2019s eyes, it is a unique record of New Wave energy, defiance and invention. It vibrates, it makes you laugh on various decibel levels, and it invites you to see the city as a canvas, a fount, or a point of psychogeography.<\/p>\n
