Murder in Paris '68: A True Story of Death and Glamour

Cassandra Tang

The beauty of Paris is that the cinematic version overlays the real one like a double exposure. You’re in the film, with the same streets, same cafés, even the same faces. Only the storefronts and overcoats have changed. And the traffic’s worse.

The New Wave wasn’t just about how cinema looked; it was about how people saw themselves. Its protagonists didn’t act, they played themselves. Or perhaps they lived through performance. Life blurred with film. Film with life.
