Under the Roofs of Paris

Under the Roofs of Paris
René Clair
French
Criterion 161

A love story of poor Parisians and the man that tries to get between them.

James - At times, this still felt like a silent movie. There was very little soundtrack and the dialogue was strangely placed. However, the actions did tell a lot, and the story was good. It was just too drawn out.
C

Britney - The story was not admirable. Ugly women were pushed around and stolen from, and the beautiful woman was shallow and a tease. The camera work, however, was well done, especially for its time. I also like the costumes.
