Why we chose it

The film that launched the cinéma du look, the French style where the image can steal any scene, begins when a young man secretly tapes a singer who has never been recorded. He’s not the only one after that tape, and soon he’s riding his moped into the Paris Métro with the mob on his tail.

Synopsis

Jules, a Paris postman who does his rounds on a moped, is devoted to an opera singer who has never agreed to be recorded, so when she gives a concert, he tapes it in secret from his seat. On the way home his cassette is swapped for another, one that the police and the mob both want. Jules has no idea what he’s carrying.
