Paris 36 (French: Faubourg 36) is a 2008 French film directed by Christophe Barratier. This film is set in 1930s Paris.
The song "Loin de Paname" (lyrics by Frank Thomas, music by Reinhardt Wagner), sung by Nora Arnezeder, was nominated for the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Original Song.
When a neighborhood music hall closes down, a trio of unemployed friends vow to bring the business back from the dead by staging a musical they hope will be a hit. If their gamble pays off, they'll have the money to buy the theater for themselves and the power to control their own destinies.
