Faubourg 36

 Faubourg 36 (2008)

  • Director: Christophe Barratier
  • Based on the novel: no.
  • Cast: Gérard Jugnot, Clovis Cornillac, Kad Mirad, Nora Arnezeder, Pierre Richard, Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu, Maxence Perrin
  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
    • I didn’t recognise any of them.
  • Why? Paris. 1936. Music.
  • Seen: 3 September 2021.      

       A troupe of theatrical players take over their theatre when it’s shut down by new owners. The political situation in Paris in 1936 is heating up.

       The film has potential. It has the right ingredients but sadly, it doesn’t ever lift. It’s trite, shallow, and boring.

       The red flags and union activists raise it ½ * to 

2 ½ * of 5
