Set in a suburb of north-east Paris between December 1935 and July 1936 during the "revolutionary" period of the Popular Front (who introduced the first paid holidays and a shorter working week). Thre...( read more

I liked this for the most part but can't recommend it. It's kinda Moulin Rouge-y and mostly a blah movie with good intentions but lacks any serious passion. It takes a good 30 minutes to get into it and the ending makes you feel like you wasted your time. It's a great looking mov...( read more)
Beautifullly filmed foreign language period drama with a wonderful musical score set in 1936 Paris
This is honestly one of the most entertaining things I have seen recently. Granted, its predictable, and there is certainly a sense of "I've seen this before...". Still, its incredible fun and charastmatic. It has a historical setting and tone, but its not overtly historical. Its...( read more)
A surprisingly goofy good time comedy about a revival of a music hall in Paris 1936 and how it affects everyone. Very entertaing and funny. Some of the subtitles went by too quickly though, which sucked.
A Paris Paris con su romance, su humor, su musica, sus mujeres hermosas y sus hombres varoniles hablando un idioma que suena casi angelical; si tienen hambre de todo eso y mas aqui lo obtendran en el Faubourg 36 (Paris 36) se ven reflejadas esas clasicas peliculas que hicieron de...( read more)
Faubourg is a district in northern Paris, but it will be the name of a theater too. In this place are: Chansonia, a concert hall, a group of workers involved with the political mess, a troupe of actors trying to invent a new way of doing a musical with little money but with lot ...( read more)
Gorgeous looking film set around a North Paris theatre in 1936, where the members of a troupe find new life by putting on a show in the same theatre they used to be employed in before it was closed.
It's a typically 'French' film, in that there's an equal amount of misery libera...( read more)
this movie is lack of charm., which is, for me, very unusual case in french movie.,
but still, entertaining like any other french films did..
It's an overstuffed homage to a bygone style of show business rather than a vigorous piece of entertainment on its own. full review
Somehow its value is never communicated to the audience in a felt way. Or maybe that's simply the crucial aspect of Paris 36 that didn't make it safely across the Atlantic. full review
The movie otherwise lacks a certain energy, advances somewhat creakily through its plot and contains mostly obligatory surprises. Still, it's pleasant and amusing. full review
A Parisian dream that will have you walking out on air and feeling great about the joyous possibilities of movies. full review
Mr. Barratier, in trying to evoke the great French films of the 1930s and '40s, mistakes their elegant clarity for simple-mindedness and treats his material and his audience with condescension. full review
My tolerance for French kitsch is low and French accordion music lower, so that I stayed in my seat bodes well for the film's commercial prospects. full review
A superficial, clichéd jumble that illustrates what might happen if you threw Moulin Rouge and Amélie into the same high-speed blender. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Faubourg 36 (Paris 36)" !
