Maurice’s Bar [short film]

Synopsis

One of Paris’ first queer bars is commemorated in this strikingly composed and visually moody short. Customers recount mysterious rumors about the bar’s Jewish-Algerin owner, enjoy the bar’s infamous cabaret, and canoodle in its dark corners as an obsessive policeman surveils the bar from across the street.
