The American writer Joe arrives in Paris to research and write about Proust. He meets the Polish Karl and they become friends and costumers of brothels and restaurants. When the fifteen year-old Colette arrives in Paris, they both fall in love with her.
Different from many other Chabrol movies that follow “Hitchock-like” patterns, _Jours tranquilles à Clichy_ relates the days a young American writer (Henry Miller) spent in the Gay Paris of the early thirties, with his polish-descent friend and their young Colette, a 14 years old-ish girl with whom they both fall in love. The story in itself doesn’t send us from a surprising even to another but slowly lifts the curtain over the prostitution, pornography, libertinage and partying that seemed to oppose Paris so much to New York, in the eyes of Miller, searching for a change from the dull like he lead before. The story is a quest for Proust and his lost time, a quest for a new life, for thrills, for truth in forgetting oneself…

Hi, please check again, the link is fine
This title was very hard to find for quite a long time, except in a copy completely ruined by a Russian translation overdub on the audio — an all too common malady. As the description says, a not particularly Chabrol-like entry in his filmography. Definitely better all around, in comparison to the 1970 Danish-made version of this material. Some may quibble — with reason — about the casting of Andrew McCarthy: Rip Torn fit the bill as Henry Miller a whole lot better in Strick’s “Tropic of Cancer (1970). Or for that matter, Fred Ward’s turn as the controversial author in “Henry and June” (1990).
