"My life is a stunt, my life is a stunt." An early promo trailer has launched for a film titled Roaring 20's, the latest from a French filmmaker named Elisabeth Vogler whose feature debut Paris Is Us premiered on Netflix a few years back. This one is premiering at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival and is a pandemic-related film, following people around Paris interacting on the first day after their lockdown ended (back in 2020). From Tribeca: "Creatively and meticulously choreographed by Elisabeth Vogler, this 24-actor tour de force was made with only 16 crew members in 6 takes. Roaring 20's allows the audience to accompany everyday people as they cross each other throughout their day, much as we frequently cross with strangers whom we never meet. But in this refreshing addition to contemporary French cinema, the audience gets to meet them all, and the experience is full of life." Featuring an ensemble cast...

The gathering will be opened by the world premiere of Jon M Chu’s In the Heights, based on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s stage musical of the same name. The International Feature Competition includes a few European films. Roaring 20’s by French filmmaker Elisabeth Vogler (Netflix title Paris Is Us) gives viewers the chance not only to travel to Paris, but to live a day in the life there during the Covid-19 pandemic, in a single unbroken shot.

Berlin-based sales banner Films Boutique has acquired Elizabeth Vogler’s “Roaring 20’s” ahead of its world premiere in competition at Tribeca.
Vogler’s follow-up to “Paris is Us,” “Roaring 20’s“ was shot in one uninterrupted single sequence in Paris in the summer of 2020.
The sophomore feature came to life just after the two-month lockdown was lifted in France, and follows Parisians from the sunny banks of the Seine river through the crowded streets of the inner-city as they rejoice and make unexpected encounters. A love letter to Paris, the movie provides a snapshot of this newly-found freedom, lightness and happiness through the city. The film shot across four miles by foot, bike, metro and scooter with 24 actors and a light crew of 16 people.
“”Roading 20’s’ is a very rare film as it captures perfectly the spirit of the time we are currently living in,” said Films Boutique founder Jean-Christophe Simon.

After launching in France in 2014 with rather disappointing numbers, Netflix has since become a major contender, with nearly 7 million subscribers at the start of the year and probably many more after a lengthy Covid lockdown this past spring.
But as far as local films released directly onto the streaming service, there’s still been a way to go, with middling first-time features like Paris Is Us and Street Flow leaving many to question whether le cinéma français could ever exist purely online.

While the English title of “Paris est à nous” reads “Paris Is Us” — it’s the title under which the film appears on Netflix — a more direct translation would be “Paris Is Ours.” While director Elisabeth Vogler has never articulated an intentional link, connotatively, the filmmaker’s title evokes Jacques Rivette’s “Paris nous appartient,” or “Paris Belongs to Us.” Rivette’s existentialist film from the French New Wave encapsulated Cold War-era paranoia; ironically, its characters are alienated from the very Paris they inhabit.

If France likes to consider itself both the birthplace of cinema and the country that continues to defend the seventh art through thick and thin, its constituents have, like the rest of us, been gradually lured away from movie theaters toward a multitude of streaming platforms. And while Netflix, the world’s number one streamer, got off to a rocky start in Gaul with a limited selection and very few films d’auteur, it now boasts a wider range of titles and more than 5 million subscribers. What’s still lacking at this point is an original release to bring the ...
