I’ve been a devout follower of this French music blog since they started filming their “Concert a Emporter” short “take-away shows” of their favorite musical artists playing improvised shows around the streets and beautiful spaces of Paris. While the cinematography and sound are spot on, the casuality, and improvisation, and informal spirit of the performances create an uncanny intimacy with the artists. As you watch more of the performances available on the website (now well over 50), you also realize that these films create an intimacy with Paris - it’s creeky apartments, it’s quiet courtyards, the views from it’s slanted metal rooftops, and the many small places that give even grandiose Paris a cozy feel. With my deep well of nostalgia for Paris never far below the surface, these films can almost put tears in my eyes they are so beautiful.
