Saint-André des Arts

Why go

A small two-screen cinema in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, mixing repertory classics, recent independent releases and themed double bills. It is known for its David Lynch retrospectives and its commitment to original versions.

Best for

• Idiosyncratic double bills and repertory discoveries
• David Lynch and similar director retrospectives
• Late-night screenings

What makes it distinctive

The programming feels personal rather than institutional — a B-movie double bill one evening, a Kiarostami the next. This is not a venue for blockbusters; it is a venue for discovery.

Our view

Not a venue for blockbusters. Go when you want to be surprised by the programme rather than confirm a choice you already made.
