A Room in Town (Une chambre en ville in French) is a 1982 French musical drama film written and directed by Jacques Demy.Set during the real-life workers' strike in Nantes, 1955, the film is a romantic tragedy where the young shipyard worker Francois Guilbaud finds himself drifting away from his longtime girlfriend, Violette Pelletier, in favor of the rich, unhappily married part-time prostitute Edith Leroyer—who is the daughter of his landlady. Edith shares Francois' passion, but with her husband Edmond becoming more paranoid by the minute, strikebreakers on alert, and political tensions rising daily, no happy endings are guaranteed. | |

Darker and Edgier: This film is the most bleakly tragic of Demy's works, with senseless deaths and beatings, infidelity, and suicide among the common themes. | |
