Synopsis:
‘After coming to Paris to study art for a year, mid-westerner Christina James (Jean Seberg) ends up staying for four. Although she came to pursue art, she ends up learning more about herself and love. Amid the city’s romantic atmosphere, she gets involved with a young student (Philippe Forquet) who proves too immature to truly love her. She then finds herself less of an artist and more a member of the artistic scene as she pursues a modeling career. She quickly becomes a “Citizen of Paris,” and embraces its endless parties and jaded view of love. Finally, after falling for a foreign correspondent, Walter Beddoes (Stanley Baker), who loves his career more than her, Christina must make a choice between doomed romance and the safe confines of a marriage to an American who adores her.’

Quote:
“I had one of my graduate students drive the car, and I filmed 16mm black and white negative driving through these four consecutive tunnels on the Pasadena freeway. I wound up doing about 1400 paper prints from the individual frames in the negative. I mounted a piece of glass in my garage, with a square of tape marked out on it. I sat down behind the glass with a white T-shirt on and started shooting the stills. My wife Sarah shot the first part, and as the shots got shorter and shorter, I shot it myself using a bulb hooked up to the camera that I operated with my foot. I originally meant to shut it off and fade it out to end it, but while I was shooting, I decided instead to reverse the procedure, slowing the shots back down. I called Sarah back to shoot the last part. I always had the idea of sound, but I could never figure out what the heck kind of sound to have in this film.” (Gary Beydler, 2008)Read More »
