From Á bout des souffle to Amélie, French cinema loves a good Parisian romance with the city often as integral to the love story as the love story itself. Jacques Audiard’s latest is a love story set in Paris – but that’s where the comparison to its predecessors end.There’s no twee shots of a twinkling Eiffel Tower or panoramic views of romantic boat rides along the Seine, Emily in Paris-style here.
Paris is not sentimentalised: filmed in harsh black and white, the action takes place around Paris’ 13th District – an austere concrete jungle of modern apartment blocks. Despite its title, the film centres not on the city that’s Audiard’s home, but on the complex lives of four millennials who live there, all trying to navigate love in a digital age be it via casual hook-ups, dating apps or online porn.Take Èmilie, a sharp-tongued, sex-savvy woman in her twenties who is bored with her soul-destroying job in a call centre.
With a stunning standout performance from newcomer Lucie Zhang, we follow Èmilie as she thrill-seeks via dating apps in a post lockdown world where horniness is off-the-charts. Things change when dashing male student Camille (Makita Samba) starts to rent a room in her apartment and the pair soon start sleeping together.
While Èmilie falls in love, Camille wants nothing more than to be a roommate with benefits and the two go their separate ways.While Èmilie returns to dating apps, Camille moves out and starts a new job to help fund his studies – and it’s here where he meets the vulnerable Nora (Noémie Merlant). An older student in her thirties, Nora is mistaken by her younger, bratty classmates for porn star Amber Sweet (expertly portrayed by Jehnny Beth) and is mercilessly slut-shamed.

There’s nothing like on-screen text over a crystal-clear establishing shot to tell you exactly how stupid a filmmaker thinks their audience is. Sometimes it’s the big, bold “PARIS, FRANCE” chyron over an aerial shot of the Eiffel Tower; sometimes we get a widescreen image of the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Capital building with a helpful “WASHINGTON, D.C.” In “Morbius,” our title character is explaining to his best friend that an experimental procedure has to be performed in international waters, after which director Daniel Espinoza cuts to a giant shipping boat, in the middle of the ocean, with the words “INTERNATIONAL WATERS, EASTERN SEABOARD” plastered on the bottom of the screen.
