During July, it offers a special reduced-fare series featuring international classics like “Rebel Without a Cause”, “East of Eden”, “Roman Holiday”, and “Double Indemnity”, among others. Today, Studio 28 provides a delightful experience while remaining relatively inexpensive, compared to other Paris movie theatres. Studio 28’s fame was secured when Salvador Dali and Luis Buñuel premiered one of the first surrealist films there: “ L’Age d’Or” (The Golden Age). With just 170 seats and about ten screenings a week, it has earned a special place in the Parisian filmscape.įounded in 1928 (hence the name), it immediately carved a niche in history as the world’s first avant-garde art theater. My own favorite cinema is little Studio 28, the only movie house on the hill of Montmartre. “V.o.” is “version originale,” which means the film is presented in its original language with subtitles in French.) (In cinema listings, “v.f.” stands for “version francaise,” meaning it’s dubbed in French with no subtitles.
With almost 400 theaters in Paris showing 600 films on any given day, choosing just one film can be daunting.įirst things first: Get your hands on a Pariscope, the weekly entertainment guide available at any newsstand, or visit. When the sun sets in Paris, what’s an insomniac Cheapo to do? Why not take in a film? After all, cinema is as French as camembert cheese.
