Ca Marche Tres Lentement
Rich on period detail, PP1905 is about middle-aged French actors strutting their stuff in dark clothes. It would seem that very little actualy happened in Paris in 1905, beyond people chatting over meals and drinks. Art Nouveau was trending, and the motor car was yet to take over, and it snowed.
One or two people got murdered, and some sex workers were taken into custody, under protest. The police of 1905 were naturally completely honest.
I dread to think how tedious this series would be without English subtitles, otherwise I would have no clue as to what was going on. You may have gathered by now that very little was going on, even if the sense of period is very good. But 1905 was no less full of ennui than 2023.
Looking for suspense? Ca n'est pas ici.
