Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Buffronioc One of the wrost movies I have ever seen
Tockinit not horrible nor great
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Phillim . . . whimsy alert though. 20 little mismatched hip movies, some awfully clever, some sweet, about the world's prettiest big city. Altogether it's too long (as these things always are) but one can fast forward, pick and choose.Gus Van Sant's and Wes Craven's pieces are my faves.And ten stars just for showing Père Lachaise Cemetery, and me screaming, 'Oh please go to Oscar Wilde's tomb!' -- and the movie following my request immediately! Yes! Pure movie super-real magic!
SnoopyStyle There are eighteen shorts connected by visuals of the city. It comes off as a rambling series of stories. It's more connected by feel more than by story. It's very much a hit and miss concept. It doesn't go completely miss but it rarely hits big. The best is the Coens with Steve Buscemi getting beaten up. It's funny and contained. There are other interesting bits like the mimes. One does get a sense of a nice multicultural city and love is often the subject matter. I certainly would like every short to stand on its own and be award-winning in its own right. It's not and I start to get tired after awhile. It feels a bit repetitive to start anew every five or six minutes. The concept has a problem with flow and maintaining intensity.
Red_Identity I loved this! Sure, not all of them are all that great, but none really stand out in a negative way, and the ones that work do so like pure magic. I like how they weren't given one theme or topic to focus on (aside from the obvious city) and instead many of them branch out and do some unexpected, delightful things. I'm surprised this didn't get more awards traction, looking at it now. I'd say many of them stand out, like the paramedic/dying guitarist, and the blind guy/actress ones. Others are shorter but still make a big impact. I definitely thought this was better than expected, and highly recommend it for anyone really
Mustang92 OK, well I didn't actually vomit, but wanted to. A couple months ago, I thought I saw the worst movie in years. Now it's a toss up between that one and "Paris Je T'aime."With all the talented directors each creating a 5-6 minute story -- that is, a 5-6 minute short film that will be unrelated to all the others, except in locale, one would THINK that some of these would be good, if not most of them. And if you thought this, you'd be wrong. At least 15 of these 18 short films are the most horrible pieces of trash I've seen in years. My God, one can attend any film festival anywhere in this country, and it would be hard pressed to see a short film at a festival that would be as bad as what's in "Paris Je T'aime," I kid you not.The producers of this trash should have exercised *some* control over approving what the directors were doing. It appears as though they gave the directors 'x' amount of money and said "go do what you want." In fact, if one didn't know any of these directors' prior movies and saw their work here, you'd think these filmmakers were untalented hacks that shouldn't be given money for film. Their work here is that BAD. And NONE of them, save maybe 1 or 2, could actually tell a frickin' story in the time alloted. Amazing this turd of a film was given money and produced.And the title for this heap of toilet water? It comes from the very last short film of the bunch, about a woman who falls in love with Paris the city -- which has NOTHING to do with any of the other pieces, nor is there any "through line" of love toward Paris in the entire movie. A ludicrous and stupid title.
