Mallet-Stevens Street

Commissioned for the centenary of architect Robert Mallet-Stevens, this film is set on Rue Mallet-Stevens in Paris' 16th arrondissement. It captures a mysterious, nocturnal scene that intertwines romance with the modernist constructions of the street.

Chantal Akerman, known for her distinctive filmmaking style, stars alongside Coralie Seyrig in this visually compelling piece. The narrative unfolds both outside and within one of the street's architectural highlights, providing a backdrop that enhances the emotional depth of the story. The film's exploration of personal connections against a rich historical context makes it a significant entry in Akerman's body of work.
