"Few movies catch the gulf between people, and the way we become careless with each other without even realizing it, better than...Paris s'éveille (Paris Awakens)"--Kent Jones
Assayas's Paris Awakens spins an unsettling variation on the classic love triangle, here involving a sensual, down-on-her-luck 18-year-old, her much older boyfriend (Jean-Pierre L»aud again), and his shady son arriving on the lam. With music by John Cale. (1991; 95 mins.)

One of Robert Bresson's most controversial films, The Devil, Probably follows a group of young people who are in every way at odds with the money-obsessed Parisian society that surrounds them. (1977; 95 mins.)
