| Summary | Annotation Well always have Paris, Humphrey Bogart assures Ingrid Bergman in the oft-quoted farewell scene fromCasablancain which Bogarts character, hard-hearted restaurateur Rick Blaine, bids former lover Ilsa Lund goodbye. The backdrop against which they first fell in love, Paris later serves as a reminder of their deep mutual longings. And with a host of different realizations by filmmakers from Philip Kaufman to Julien Leclercq to Woody Allen, there is no question that Paris has likewise endured in the memories of cinephiles worldwide.World Film Locations: Paristakes readers on an unforgettable tour of the City of Lights past and present through the many films that have been set there. Along the way, we revisit iconic tourist sites from the Eiffel Towerwhose stairs and crossbars inspired more than one famous chase sceneto the Moulin Rouge overlooking the famously seedy Place Pigalle. Other films explore lesser-known quartiers usually tucked away from the tourists admiring gaze. Handsomely illustrated with full-color film stills and contemporary photographs, more than fifty scenes are individually considered with special attention to their use of Pariss topography as it intersects with characters, narrative, and plot. A host of important genres and cinematic movements are featured, including poetic realism, the New Wave, cinéma-verité, the literary works of the Left Bank Group, and Luc Bessons slickly stylized cinéma du look. Meanwhile, essays foreground contributions from Francophone African directors and émigré filmmakers.For centuries, Paris has reigned over the popular imagination. For those who have visited or those who have only imagined it through art, literature, and film,World Film Locations: Parispresents a wonder-filled cinematic exploration of the mythical city that fans of French cinemaand new initiateswill appreciate. |
