NOTES

Title from title frames

Rue Mouffetard is a documentary that captures one day in the life of one of the most cosmopolitan places in the world. Shot entirely in a single location, it encapsulates all the diversity and liveliness of people sharing the same space since Neolithic times in Paris. Rue Mouffetard is a celebration of multiculturalism and humanism. From the small details of everyday life to broad philosophical questions such as happiness and dreams, Rue Mouffetard is a thought-provoking mosaic. A place where young and old people, traditional residents and immigrants work, love, argue, laugh, cry, live. The street is the location, the unifying place. The characters are the soul...Rue Mouffetard is candid, poignant, simple and direct. Following the cinema-verite tradition of Jean Rouch’s Chronique d’un Ete, it proposes to the real-life characters the same seminal question: "Etes-vous heureux?"(Are you happy?) and then follows up with lively conversations all in the same multicultural environment
