1960 / NEW WAVE STREETS
A camera, a newspaper and Paris moving faster than permission.
Black-and-white contact sheets, abrupt rules and airy street frames echo New Wave energy without reproducing film stills.
Locations are sequenced as a fan journey, not a plot recap. Songs, scenes and episodes lead the route; changed, private and doubled sites are labelled rather than smoothed into fiction.
5 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.
