New Wave locations

I am plannig to go to Paris for a school art class. I am not an art major but I would like to get credit for the trip so I came up with a project that I can work on while there that incorporates my interest in the New Wave. I am going to attempt to find some locations where Truffaut and Godard shot some of their key early films. I will limit this to Breathless, 400 Blows, Antoine and Colette, Band of Outsiders, A Woman is a Woman, Stolen Kisses, and Alphaville as these are the ones I own on DVD. Does anyone know where any of these films were shot? Has there been anything published that reveals where the locations are? Are there any websites that would be helpful? Any information would be great. Thanks.

This book has a section on Paris, but I only briefly flipped through in a bookstore and didn't linger on those pages. The book didn't really impress me on a first glance, actually. I don't know why I'm even bringing it up.

If you look up the film in IMDb and click on Filming Locations in the left column, it will often give you some information. E.g., it gives "Scribe Hotel, 1 rue Scribe, Paris 9" as the location of Lemmy Caution's hotel in Alphaville.SheriffAmbrose wrote:Does anyone know where any of these films were shot?

For films shot in Paris, there are a couple of publications that may be able to give you more detailed information: PARIS VU AU CINEMA and CINE-PARIS.

I never said that. I am just trying to keep things simple. I am sure their feelings are just fine.domino harvey wrote:I don't want to be a jerk, but Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette, Eric Rohmer, and Luc Moullet are seriously going to get their feelings hurt reading this thread and realizing that there are still people who think the entire French New Wave was two directors wide.

I agree with domino, and I also think you're doing your project a disservice by neglecting certain films not by the Big Two. Paris nous appartient seems a strong target for this kind of approach, and Cleo from 5 to 7, with its temporal and physical integrity, the ideal New Wave film to guide a Paris location tour.SheriffAmbrose wrote:I never said that.

Can you be a little more dramatic. Thanks that was a huge help. So in other words you have nothing to add but had to drop your two sense in. This isn't a huge deal; it is something I am throwing together to get class credit for a vacation in Paris. I am not trying to please even myself with the results let alone any serious film fan.I also think you're doing your project a disservice

technically Agnes Varda would be Left Bank Cinema and not French New Wavezedz wrote:I agree with domino, and I also think you're doing your project a disservice by neglecting certain films not by the Big Two.

He also dropped his two cents in as well, college student. Best of luck to you in your academic pursuit of movies you've already seen.SheriffAmbrose wrote:Can you be a little more dramatic.

Oh, why bother? Go back and reread my post without the attitude and you'll find two clear suggestions. Rather than going onto an internet forum and asking for detailed annotations (of uncertain reliability) of half a dozen films, you could go and take a look at Cleo with a map of Paris beside you and plan your entire visit, and sort out your class project, in an hour and a half.SheriffAmbrose wrote:Can you be a little more dramatic.

Or you could visit the Louvre and tick the Band of Outsiders box, but that doesn't sound particularly interesting to me.

As I said, I dunno what these are - I figure one of the two cinemas has to be the place with Belmondo's legendary shot-reverse shot with Bogie.11 rue Campagne Première, Paris 14, Paris, France

Just thought I would say there is a longish scene in PARIS NOUS APPARTIENT filmed outside the famous Bateau Lavoir (of Picasso and Cubism fame) on Place Emile Goudeau on the way up to Monmartre. It's a lovely spot and there is even a hotel there (I stayed there a few years back-and hope too again soon).
I for one always wanted to know where Jean Seberg conducts her interview in Breathless-where they sit by a big window and have a lovely view of the street.
Anna Karina works in Record Shop off the Champs Elysee in Avenue Wagram I think-I guess its not there any more though. Hope this is helpful.
