I HAVE been asked in one of those getting-to-know-you e-mail questionnaires, to name a time and place where I'd like to have lived in, given the choice. Paris, 1968, is almost certainly close to the top of my list.

The Paris of Cahiers du Cinéma, the French new wave, Eustache, Godard, Mai-68 demonstrators and pro-change revolutionaries. When, therefore, I heard about this film, which purported to pay homage to the late 1960s cinema scene in Paris, it was a film decidedly anticipated.
