PARADISE presents BAY OF ANGELS

THIS SEPTEMBER: The Paradise is putting on three double-features to celebrate the individual achievements of cinema’s most distinguished duo. Welcome to THE WORLD OF JACQUES AND AGNÈS- a short and sweet series to honour the storied careers of the French New Wave’s greatest power couple-Jacques Demy and Agnès Varda.

LOVE IS JUST A GAME OF CHANCE. The third and final night of our series- Jacques and Agnès by the shores. Two deeply personal and emotionally poignant films set on upon the coast. At 6 PM we travel to Nice and take a seat at the card table with Demy's gorgeous melodrama BAY OF ANGELS.

This precisely wrought, emotionally penetrating romantic drama from Jacques Demy, set largely in the casinos of Nice, is a visually lovely but darkly realistic investigation into love and obsession. A bottle-blonde Jeanne Moreau is at her blithe best as a gorgeous gambling addict, and Claude Mann is the bank clerk drawn into her risky world. Featuring a mesmerizing score by Michel Legrand, Bay of Angels is among Demy’s most somber works.

Buy tickets to our 6 PM presentation of BAY OF ANGELS and receive a promo-code for 30% off admission to our 8:30 PM presentation of THE BEACHES OF AGNÈS.
