Paris Belongs to Us (Criterion Collection)

Betty Schneider, Giani Esposito, Francoise Prevost. This film is arguably the true originator of the French New Wave, directed by critic-turned-filmmaker Jacques Rivette, who completed it only after the release of The 400 Blows and Breathless. It follows a young literature student who befriends the members of a group of Parisian twentysomethings, all united by the suicide of an acquaintance. In French with English subtitles. 1961/color/141 min/NR/fullscreen.
