La Vie Commence Demain, writer/director Nicole Vedres' 1950 documentary about futurism, begins with an inquisitive young man (Jean-Pierre Aumont) being offered a helicopter ride to various sites of interest within Paris such as the Catacombs and the boho hangout Café de Flore. He's also whisked away to interviews with leading French artists and intellectuals including Pablo Picasso, Jean-Paul Sartre, André Gide, Darius Milhaud, and others. Though obscure and now unavailable in the U.S., the film is not lost.
