Le Desperado

In the maze of streets that make up the Latin Quarter, you’ll eventually stumble across at least one of the three Action cinemas: the Christine, the Grand Action and the Desperado (formerly Action Ecoles), which was taken over in 2011 by the filmmaker Jean-Pierre Mocky. Principally, the cinemas act as cine-clubs, with a mission to re-issue classic films as new prints – heaven for anyone who's nostalgic for Tinseltown classics and quality US independents.
