Matt Campbell sees Paris, 13th District as “very millennial. It’s about twenty-somethings figuring things out, navigating their love lives in Paris.”
The cast includes Noémie Merlant, known to art-house audiences for her memorable turn in 2019’s striking Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Campbell points out that Merlant’s directorial debut, Mi Iubita, Mon Amour, is also in the DFF lineup; click for details about screening times on November 11 and 12.
As for the three main characters in Paris, 13th District, they’re “involved in a love triangle,” he notes. “It’s based on some different short stories that are intertwined, and there’s this kind of arrested-development thing going on: being young in the big city and having a crummy job, but having big dreams and hopes of getting caught up in that funny thing called love.”
Here’s the trailer for Paris, 13th District:
