Boulevard (1960)

Boulevard focuses on Georges 'Jojo' Castagnier, an adolescent who lives in a poor room under the roof of a block of apartments in the Pigalle section of Paris. He ran away from home when he realized that his step-mother hated him from day-one. Among Jojo's many neighbors is the gorgeous Jenny Dorr , a nightclub dancer, whose lover he dreams of being. But, to Jojo's disappointment, Jenny becomes the lover of Dicky, a former boxer, who spends his time loafing about the Pigalle cafés. Jojo lacks for steady work, but manages to meet his financial obligations with a series of odd jobs. He tries selling magazines, which is a success for a while, though posing as Narcissus for two gay artists proves to be something of a disaster. Eventually, he woos Marietta, one of his other neighbors and a girl more suited to his age. But when things go really awry, Jojo becomes desperate and tries to commit suicide by jumping off the roof of his building

흥미로운 사실

Boulevard is a 1960 French comedy-drama film directed by Julien Duvivier and starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Monique Brienne, Pierre Mondy and Magali Noël.

Background and production

Jean-Pierre Léaud was only 15 years old when the movie was shot, and it was his second lead role. Filming took place at Boulogne Studios; various locations in Paris, and director Duvivier reportedly had to keep close tabs on Leaud to keep him out of trouble. Leaud had caused a commotion when he tried to get into a strip-tease show, and the management refused him entrance, due to him being underage.
