BBC - Bright Lights, Brilliant Minds A Tale of Three Cities (2014) Part 2 Paris 1928

Series in which Dr James Fox tells the story of three cities in three exceptional years - cities whose artists and thinkers, writers and musicians set the world on a new course.

Part 2: Paris 1928

Paris in 1928 was a city that attracted people dreaming of a better world after World War I. This was the year when the Surrealists Magritte, Dali and Bunuel brought their bizarre new vision to the people, and when emigre writers and musicians such as Ernest Hemingway and George Gershwin came looking for inspiration. Paris was where black musicians and dancers like Josephine Baker found adulation, where Cole Porter took time off from partying to write Let's Do it, and where radical architect Le Corbusier planned a modernist utopia that involved pulling down much of Paris itself.
