The artistic legacy of Georges Franju was forever changed by Le métro, this Short landmark continues to dictate the rules of its category. We've assembled a sequence of films that complement the tone of Le métro perfectly.
The vintage appeal of Le métro to maintain its cult relevance across several decades.
In Paris, come rain or come shine, he metro comes and goes, through stone tunnels and over iron bridges. The metro users in the corridors, mostly going up and down the stairs, come and go. Ankles, feet, legs, socks, shoes in perpetual motion. Fast, fast, faster and faster.
Based on the unique artistic bravery of Le métro, our vault has identified these titles as the most compelling follow-up experiences for fans of Short cinema:
