The perennially popular Cinema En Plein Air has returned to the Parc de la Villette, films will be projected onto a gigantic inflatable screen every night until the 22nd of August. The films are shown in their original language, with French subtitles, and start when the sun goes down. It’s advisable to pack a picnic and get there early to guarantee some leg room for the feature presentation. All screenings are free but there’s a €7 charge to rent a deck chair. The festival is in its 20th incarnation, reflected in this year’s theme – ‘Being 20. ‘ All the films revolve around the promise and frustration of youth in some way. That said, not all youth will be welcome – this is the first year age restrictions will apply to some screenings. Having endured an uncomfortable couple of minutes last year sitting next to a 5-year-old child while watching a naked Viggo Mortensen stabbing another man in the eye during ‘Eastern Promises,’ this writer welcomes the decision.
