Paris at the Turn of the 21st Century (1996)

Overview

A joyful and light-hearted look at alienation. What we see: ugly modern buildings, too many tourists, uniformity - everywhere the same cafés, the same supermarket bags, beggars and homeless, Senegalese merchants selling small Eiffel Towers, police and people fleeing from them, aggressive restaurateurs, markets, crowded subways, traffic jams and exhaust fumes, prostitutes, street fights, clowns. What we hear: Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals by Carl Stalling, a selection of sound recordings for Warner Brothers cartoons from 1941-50.
