Brad Pitt, director Damien Chazelle, and part of the Babylon team traveled to Paris for the official preview in France of Babylon, the new event film from the director of La La Land.
It was Saturday night’s event in Paris! Brad Pitt and the Babylon crew were at the highly anticipated premiere of the new film from Damien Chazelle, director of La La Land, Whiplash and First Man.
Brad Pitt made the flashes crackle and the photographers and very many fans posted around the film’s red carpet scream. The Grand Rex which hosted the event pulled out all the stops, with animations in the colors of the film and an ultra-festive musical atmosphere just like the film.
Brad Pitt took the time to sign autographs, take selfies with fans (including Karine Le Marchand, see our slideshow below) and respond to reporters. AlloCiné was there and was able to talk to him for a few moments.
For the actor, this film is a great “love letter to cinema“. On the stage of the Grand Rex, he also reminded of his love to the cinema-loving public in France. “It’s always a pleasure to be here, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, in this magnificent cinema. It’s a city, a country that loves cinema”. And to add: “I don’t know of another country that loves cinema so much and appreciates the value of a great director.“.

For the record, Babylon will be released everywhere in France this Wednesday, January 18.
The story takes place in Los Angeles in the 1920s. It is the story of excessive ambition and the craziest excess. Babylon traces the rise and fall of various characters during the creation of Hollywood, an era of boundless decadence and depravity.
