Quiet Days in Clichy
Director: Jens Jørgen Thorsen
Actors: Paul Valjean, Wayne Rodda, Ulla Koppel
PlotIn the bohemian backdrop of 1960s Paris, two friends, an aspiring writer and his carefree companion, navigate the city's artistic underbelly, seeking inspiration and adventure. With little money but an abundance of charm, they indulge in the pleasures of Parisian life, flirting with muses and grappling with the occasional pangs of poverty. As they saunter through cafés, bars, and dimly lit streets, their unstructured lives reflect the pulsating energy of a city synonymous with love, art, and rebellion.
Amid this exploration, the pair encounter a myriad of characters that define the city's libertine spirit: struggling artists, street philosophers, and enigmatic women who drift in and out of their low-rent apartment. The fleeting romantic escapades and the protagonists' quest for literary and sensual experiences reveal a raw portrait of youth in search of meaning. Despite the haze of hedonism, internal conflicts and existential crises begin to surface, challenging the sustainability of their carefree existence and testing the bounds of their friendship.
