Inspired by the release of NOUVELLE VAGUE on 30 January we are revisiting classic French films from Jean-Luc Godard, Éric Rohmer, and François Truffaut.

In French With English subtitles

Charlie is a classical pianist who has changed his name and now plays jazz in a Paris bar. When Charlie’s brothers, Richard and Chico, ask for his help while on the run from gangsters, he aids their escape. Soon Charlie and Lena, a waitress at the same bar, face trouble when the gangsters arrive.
