A tragic French epic considered a classic romantic film, Children of Paradise takes as its setting a theater troupe in Paris during the 19th century, but was actually filmed during the last years of World War II. Deftly entwining theater, literature, music, and design, director Marcel Carné and screenwriter Jacques Prévert resurrect the tumultuous world of 19th-century Paris, teeming with hucksters and aristocrats, thieves and courtesans, pimps and seers.
		Funny Face February 15 at 1:30 pm Dir. Stanley Donen (USA, 1957) 103 min. This is a film version of the 1927 George Gershwin Broadway musical Funny Face, starring Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn.

		Late August, Early September (Fin août, début septembre) March 21 at 1:30 pm Dir. Olivier Assayas (France, 1999) 112 min. The story of a quartet of Parisian adults (young and not so young) grappling with love, indecision, and crises of confidence, is not titled for a time of year but for a feeling, a tone, and a sense of passage. The quirky Assayas beautifully captures a portrait in messy emotions and contradictions with modesty and sympathy.
		On connaît la chanson (Same Old Song) March 28 at 1:30 pm Dir. Alain Resnais (France, 1997) 120 min. A playful, yet somber, musical comedy by one of the greatest living directors.

Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in François Truffaut’s gripping, humanist character study.

		Shoot the Piano Player (Tirez sur le pianiste) April 18 at 1:30 pm Dir. François Truffaut (France, 1962) 92 min. Shoot the Piano Player relates the adventures of the mild-mannered piano player Charlie as he stumbles into the criminal underworld and a whirlwind love affair. Part thriller, part comedy, part tragedy, this is director Francois Truffaut’s most playful, anarchic film.
		Under the Roofs of Paris (Sous les toits de Paris) April 25 at 1:30 pm Dir. René Clair (France, 1927) 92 min. In René Clair's irrepressibly romantic portrait of the crowded tenements of Paris, a street singer and a gangster vie for the love of a beautiful young woman. This witty exploration of love and human foibles, told primarily through song, captures the flamboyant atmosphere of the city with sophisticated visuals and groundbreaking use of the new technology of movie sound.
		Paris, Je t’Aime (Paris, I Love You) May 2 at 1:30 pm Dir. Coen/Van Sant/Chadha/Craven/Salles/Payne/Assayas (France, 2007) 120 min. Celebrated directors from around the world have come together to portray Paris in a way never before imagined. Made by a team of contributors as cosmopolitan as the city itself, this portrait of the city is as diverse as its creators' backgrounds and nationalities. With each director telling the story of an unusual encounter in one of the city's neighborhoods, the vignettes go beyond the 'postcard' view of Paris to portray aspects of the city rarely seen on the big screen.
