One of this exhibition's major rediscoveries, Allo Berlin? reveals a lighter, more experimental side of Duvivier, with a charming sentimentality and hilarious visual and verbal gags to rival those of fellow French filmmaker René Clair. Young switchboard operators in Paris and Berlin meet cute by flirting across telephone lines, national borders, and romance languages in this celebration of continental cosmopolitanism between the wars.
