The Way It Was: Paris Restaurants in the 1970s takes you on a nostalgic journey through the culinary landscape of Paris, meticulously captured by Stephen Scher. The film gathers a treasure trove of footage that, astonishingly, has sat untouched for decades. As you watch, there's this palpable sense of a moment in time fading away—it's not just about the food, but the atmosphere of dining, the quirky characters, and the art of conversation that fill the screen. The pacing feels organic, letting you sink into each vignette, and there’s a richness in the textures that keeps the viewer engaged. It’s not flashy, but that’s what makes it distinctive—an earnest look at a world we’re at risk of forgetting.
