What critics compared Under the Roofs of Paris to
It's hard to believe, but Jean-Luc Godard began his career as a director not 30 years after the French began to make talking picturesâand his Band of Outsiders often resembles René Clair's Under the Roofs of Paris more than it does a film from 1964.
