Paparazzi (1963 film)

A retrospective presentation of the film explained: "The sustained rhythm of the film follows the tensions between the paparazzi and the troupe. Rozier seems amused by this nervous atmosphere, to which he imparts the kind of inspired and playful tone that we find in the majority of his films. Like Renoir and Vigo, he is a free filmmaker. He observes insistently, with a detached but amused gaze, translating the world he gradually discovers around him into images through his own poetics and with the help of colourful and charismatic characters."^[1] Another retropesctive commentator stated, " By using the paparazzi’s method on themselves, the film became a novelty in its form and a fascinating document of its time."^[4] The film was also presented as follows: "It is a portrait of the sensationalist press who persecuted Brigitte Bardot at the time."^[5]
