The empty streets and deserted squares of Paris are hauntingly beautiful; the frozen people in taxis and restaurants are ravishingly grotesque. The French capital lies under the influence of a mysterious paralysis, which only a young night watchman at the Eiffel Tower and five visitors who have just arrived in the city have escaped. They now discover a new Paris. PARIS QUI DORT is a funny sci-fi fantasy with documentary-like undertones that is both light and poetic at the same time. It was the unmistakable starting point of René Clair’s oeuvre, situated between farce and fantasy, satire and surrealism, inventiveness and innovation.
