Paris, Je T'aime - mini-review

I adore Paris. I was just there last September, and it is just a magical city. I had the pleasure of visiting it again over the weekend through this wonderful film, Paris, Je T'aime. This is a very interesting compilation of 20 short 5 minute films all by different directors. Each film takes place in a different section of the city, and shows a different facet of the city and its tourists and natives. Directors like the Coen Brothers (No Country For Old Men), Gus Van Sant, Alfonso Cuaron, Alexander Payne, and Wes Craven contributed. There are lots of great actors, too, like Steve Buschemi, Juliette Binoche, Elijah Wood, Nick Nolte, and on and on.

There are romantic short films, comedic ones, even a vampire one! It's just fascinating seeing all the different styles and ways that the directors chose to show the city. I highly recommend this film and give it 3 and a half stars. Give Paris a visit on DVD! Watch the trailer here.
