在巴黎的屋頂下 Sous les toits de Paris

René Clair 雷內．克萊爾 | B&W | DCP | 1930 | 法語 French | 96 mins

1930年巴黎城藍領階級的社區中，一位流浪的街頭藝人，傳唱著一首首平易近人的歌曲，社區裡人來人往無不歡樂共享。某日，他與好友不約而同愛上了一位美麗的女人，一場三角戀曲譜出了關於這座城市的小情歌。

本片為雷內．克萊爾所拍攝的首部有聲電影，從對白與歌曲中，可端看出當時聲音的出現，如何搭配誇張動作的喜劇元素，於歌舞片中演進變化。尤其是在反覆吟唱的同名主題曲和配樂的點綴下，更成為電影無法忘卻的樂符。不可不提的是影史上破天荒由天空俯搖直下的攝影機運動，穿梭煙囪、屋頂再至街頭，除了技術上的一氣呵成，更展現出眾生浮相中詼諧幽默的巴黎面貌。

In a working-class district of Paris, impoverished singer, Albert, meets a beautiful Romanian immigrant, Pola, and falls in love. However, Pola is also pursued by Albert’s friend Louis and a local gangster, Fred. Albert and Pola decide to marry, but the plan is thwarted when Albert is wrongfully jailed for receiving stolen goods. Pola finds solace with Louis. When the thief confesses, Albert is released, but finds Pola has left Louis for Fred. Jealous of the returning Albert, Fred attacks him, leading to a knife fight on the roofs of Paris. Louis rescues Albert, but reunited, they must now face their shared love for Pola.

René Clair’s first sound film, after mastering the silent form, had a profound impact on musical-comedy films in France. Using minimal dialogue, he plays with sound effects and dynamic camera movements to create a vibrant picture of 1920s Paris in a refreshing musical narrative.
