In the early 1970s, art historian and curator Stephen Scher turned a camera on the complex ecosystem of Parisian dining. This collage of footage remained perfectly preserved in the can for 50 years; but now, as the filmmaker assembles it into a documentary, we can behold the end of a culinary era.
The Way It Was: Paris Restaurants in the 1970s (2023) is currently not available on any services.
