It is not commonly known that French artist Edgar Degas visited New Orleans in 1872. He came to see his mother’s family and was enchanted by his new environment. “Degas in New Orleans” is a dramatization of the pictures he painted under the influence of this seductive and gracious city. The film is narrated by French film director Louis Malle, whose gentle voice and lightly accented English complement the tone of the film perfectly. Produced and directed by Gary Goldman.
