A landmark work of the French New Wave, Paris Belongs to Us is the feature debut of Jacques Rivette and one of the movement's most mysterious and intellectually ambitious films. Set against the backdrop of Cold War paranoia, the story follows a young student who becomes entangled in a web of conspiracies, artistic circles, political intrigue, and unexplained deaths.

Shot over several years and finally released in 1961, the film features appearances by fellow New Wave legends and captures a uniquely unsettling atmosphere that has only grown more influential with time. Rivette's blend of mystery, theater, politics, and psychological uncertainty makes this one of the essential films of postwar French cinema.
