Almanac of Addresses of the Ladies of Paris

About This Movie

Almanac of Addresses of the Ladies of Paris from 1990 is a curious blend of comedy set against the chaotic backdrop of the French Revolution. The pacing feels almost whimsical at times, as our young aristocrat stumbles through this vibrant, tumultuous Paris. The almanac itself is a character of sorts, revealing eccentricities of the city's prostitutes, each with their own quirky charm. The performances have this raw, unrefined quality that adds to the authenticity of the era. You get a genuine sense of that time, with practical effects that bring the streets to life, even if they’re not always polished. There's a unique humor that runs through it, often subversive, making it stand out in the genre.
