PINKUS TENEMENT HOUSE

In Paweł Pawlikowski’s film, the tenement house stars, above all, as the interiors of French flats, albeit not only. Also the scene taking place in the train toilet was shot in it. For the purposes of the production of Cold War, the interiors of the building were staged as the flat belonging to Michel (Cédric Kahn), film director and Wiktor’s (Tomasz Kot) friend. In that flat the memorable party after the premiere of Michel’s film, during which Zula (Joanna Kulig) meets the upper crust of the French capital city, takes place. In an earlier scene, the interiors of the tenement house starred as well as the flat belonging to Wiktor’s lover – Juliette (Jeanne Balibar), to whom he comes back after the meeting with Zula in Café Le Balto, and were used as the scenery of the love scene taking place in a Parisian hotel.
