PARIS 36 Movie Poster * GERARD JUGNOT * 27" x 40" Rare 2009 NEW. Large Wall Size measures 27" inches wide by 40" inches high. Original Official USA Advance Release Movie Poster for the April 3rd 2009 Limited theater release of the film " Paris 36 " ( also known as Faubourg 36 ) featuring a beautiful colorful graphic from this wonderful and unique musical. Directed by Christophe Barratier ( who also directed The Chorus ) Paris 36 is set in a suburb of north-east Paris between December 1935 and July 1936 during the "revolutionary" period of the Popular Front (who introduced the first paid holidays and a shorter working week). Three unemployed performers decide to take over by force the music hall where they worked a few months earlier and stage a show there. The music hall, of course, was a traditional place to seek escapist entertainment in hard times, just as the cinema is today. But in 1930s Paris even the music halls were struggling to get by. Paris 36 sets out the stage within the first few minutes. Our hero, Pigoil (Gérard Jugnot), is abandoned by his wife. A rich man surrounded by gangsters forecloses on the debts owed by his beloved Chansonia. Everybody is out on the street. But Pigoil's son, Jojo, is determined that things can get better, and stagehand Milou (Clovis Cornillac) quickly finds himself talked into the kind of workers' occupation he's been striving to inspire elsewhere. When a beautiful young singer arrives on the scene, it looks as if the Chansonia's fortunes might be restored after all - but as Milou falls for her, so does the rich man, and the stage is set for tragedy. it to make a pertinent statement about its times, when fascism was threatening to sweep across Europe and the spirit of the music hall - of art and playfulness and sexual ambiguity - became inescapably political. Paris 36 does more than just entertain. It has something to say about the relevance of entertainment today.
