This view is Frank Gehry's design of American Center in Paris, with building that contains curves and tilted angles like Guggenheim Bilbao. From this Google streetview the facade shown here is the 'almost normal' view from Rue de Bercy, the street of the view. While the curves and tilted angles are on the opposite side of this view.

Gehry state that the curves and tilting volumes are to express 'a dancer lifting her tutu'. When it was still American Center, is said to have financial problems and being closed. Then the French Government acquired the building and relocate the Cinematheque from Palais de Chaillot to the site. The building was then renovated with respect to Gehry's design on the exterior.
