At the very beginning of the 20th century, Paris experienced one of the biggest technical and cultural upheavals in its history. It was a very special moment in time, and the French nostalgically referred to it many years later as “La Belle Époque”.

This captivating documentary takes us back to that incredible time, with eye-popping restored and colorized footage capturing the magic and euphoria of turn-of-the-century Paris – at the very beginnings of cinema and modern art – as well as a look at undercurrents of social and political strife that would manifest in later years.
