Rue Mallet-Stevens
Mystery, modernism and romance come alive after dark in the 16th arrondissement.
Tucked away in Paris is a street named after the famous interwar-period architect Robert Mallet-Stevens. It contains five of his buildings, all odes to a modernist aesthetic with a cubist influence, and is the place where Chantal Akerman shot this moody short film, commissioned to celebrate a century of his life. As the camera moves from strangers on the street to an apartment, the director’s partner Sonia Wieder-Artherton plays the cello while being circled by Akerman herself, in drag, bearing a rose.
