While the most obvious comparison would be to Moulin Rouge!, Paris 36 is a story about a group of out-of-work stagehands who decide to put on their own variety show for different reasons- for money, for love and to entertain. While it doesn't bill or pin itself to any of the plots in particular, 'Paris 36' still manages to get me to laugh, to sympathize and to fall in love. Like most French films, it's a feast for the eyes and for the soul. I am glad to finally recommend a 2009 film for everyone to see.
