Paul & Paulette Take a Bath
This unconventional romantic comedy sees a young American in Paris meet a woman with a morbid curiosity for the darker sides of the city's history.
Director: Jethro Massey
Overview
An unconventional romantic comedy about a young American photographer and a French girl with a taste for the macabre. Paul and Paulette’s chance encounter on a Parisian boulevard ignites a friendship around a dark game; re-enacting scenes of notorious crimes at the sites they occurred. For Paul, the game is a way of getting closer to Paulette. For Paulette, a way of escaping a painful break-up.
As their morbid road trip approaches the more recent past it becomes more uncomfortable, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, but finding a surprising joy in the darker corners of humanity.
