"nice movie if you want to reminesce about Paris - story lines dont tie in together"
Wish the stories tied in some - some worked some a little obscure or tried too hard to be creative

"Too many Americans in Paris ..."

This movie started out very well, very touching and absolutely riveting. The opening stories had my complete attention and even if they seemed `well-acted' they had a ring of sincerity and honesty about them. The story about the woman fainting and then getting a ride from the nervous and always single bachelor to the woman who sings to her child with love and then moments later sings the same song to a different child in complete apathy was heart-wrenching and a little hard to watch.

But then, somewhere along the way, someone thought it was a good idea to start to bloat the screen with bloated, train-wreck television Americans and other over-exposed celebs. Leading the assault with Nick Nolte looking and sounding like he did the night he got pulled over in Malibu.

Then we have to endure a coke addled Maggie Gyllenhaal in her most ridiculous appearance on film yet. Yes ... playing herself as a drug addled American Film Actress abroad. Good lord, people can it get anymore mundane than Maggie Gyllenhaal not only acting flat, but being her usual flat performing self? She's made a few gems along the way with Secretary and Donnie Darko, but the bulk of her work is forgettable. What next ... a two hour movie with her sleeping, shot with a green night-vision camera? I wouldn't be surprised if someone is trying to pitch that project right now. And then roll out a few more celebs like Elijah Wood, Natalie Portman, Willem Dafoe, Gena Rowlands, Rufus Sewell, Bob Hoskins, Maggie Gyllenhaal, ad infinitum ad naseum. The end result being that whatever integrity this film had and whatever level of sincerity about love that there was in the beginning gets completely flushed down the toilet and wiped off the coke mirror laying on the trailer make-up counter.

Perhaps if they would've left the A-list / B-list people alone after Steve Buscemi, who was actually good in this, it would've been a lot better.

If the film had a lot less `cameo appearances' of these over-paid and over-exposed celebrities and more stories of everyday people in Paris, this movie would've ended up being one of the great classic films of this age. If they thought that star-power and name recognition was a good addition to this, they were wrong. I found more interest in watching Winged Migration. If you want to see a really good film about falling in love in France - try 37°2 Le Matin, or Betty Blue as it was titled for English speakers.




"Great human taste"
It is an amazing point of view of what we are, the humans. I think not only in Paris but indeed it is the city which underlines all the people life sensations.

"Great tour of Paris life"
The stories were sometimes mediocre, some were very good. They all told a story in a way as if your livings bits of your life in Paris rather than being on a tour. I enjoyed it.

"Left with a feeling of bewilderment"
While Paris, Je T'aime includes an all-star cast of famous actresses and actors along with many great directors, the films didn't necessarily relay the message within the title. Yes, they were set in Paris, however all the short films were very loose in structure.

It is inevitable that some of the short films were going to be better than the others, so I would not rush out to buy this, but it will not be a waste of time if you're curious to watch it.

"Interesting Film", This is an enjoyable film of short stories based in various neighborhoods in Paris. Their is wide diversity of styles in the various short stories, each produced by a different person. Very entertaining. Though it is listed as 110 minutes long, to me, it felt like a 3 hour movie. IMHO, it would have been enough if they simply deleted 3-4 of the sketches. It just felt like "when is it going to end" after a while. Maybe the fact that there were so many very short skits made the film feel longer than it really was. Anyway, it is recommended if you tend towards sophisticated and intelligent films.

"Fall in love with Paris from your living room!! ", I saw this film in theaters when it first came out and thought that it was as really artistically strong film. I loved the idea of having 20 world-class directors all creating their own stories out of this spectacular city. I really should have bought the DVD when it first came out - not sure why I didn't. But now they're releasing it on both Blu-Ray and Steelbook. I'm really not sure which one to get - I'll probably ending up getting it on Blu-Ray because I really want to see some of these particular stories in a really high quality - its going to look sweet. But the steelbook tin looks really cool and is definitely a collectors item. Either way, if you haven't bought this film yet, now's your chance!

"Product in great condition; on-time!", Coen Bros. vignette classic. Buscemi is custom made for their "victim" roles. The rest of the video was delightful. I love this type of film, vignettes.
It was always engaging.

"I think I'm in love...", Originally written Nov 27, 2007...

I've never been to Paris, but have always had it on my list of places to visit. The history, the art, the culture are all well documented. That's why it's the most visited city in the world. More tourists flock to Paris each year than to any other location on the planet. I hope to count myself among those numbers some time soon, and the urge for going was increased a thousand-fold by the film I watched last night:

"Paris je t'aime"

The tagline for the film is "Stories of love. From the city of love.", but it's so much more than that. Featuring eighteen short films by twenty different directors, the five minute segments are each devoted to a different neighborhood in Paris, and each have their distinctive stamp. All of them are moving in their own way, some for good, some not, but that's really up to the individual. Standouts include the contributions by Joel & Ethan Coen, Olivier Assayas, Isabel Coxiet, and Alexander Payne. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy the others, (I did apart from a segment on mimes and another on hairdressers) it's just that those were particularly good, especially Payne's American woman alone in Paris.

I've not been so moved by a film in years, and I can't stress enough how good it is.

A +

"The one about the different kind of "love"", In 2001, I enjoyed an HK film titled "Heroes in Love" which covered the various different forms of "love", four different stories and different directors. Enjoyed the movie very much and years later, when I heard of a film that would feature over a dozen shorts by different directors and talent form all over the world which all take place in the City of Love... Paris, France. I was sold.

In Paris Je T'Aime (Paris, I love You), there are 18 different shorts directed by famous directors worldwide and featuring major talent as well from different parts of the world.

Similar to "Heroes in Love", a different take on "love" with each short but if there was one thing that is consistent with each short is that every location is just beautiful and shows off the beauty of Paris.

For Gurinder Chadha's ("Bend it Like Beckham") titled "Quais De Seine" features a group of three guys sitting around and two of them hollering at the women passing by, while one just watches the woman sitting next to them. Sitting next to them is a young muslim woman who just can't believe what the guys are saying and when she walks off, trips...and the young man helps her up. This segment just shows the two different cultures but yet despite the difference, the young man is fasicinated by her.

For Joe and Ethan Coen ("The Big Lebowski", "O Brother Where Art Thou?") and their short "Tuileries", Sam Buscemi is a tourist and catches the eye of a couple who are making out. Of course, the guy doesn't appreciate it and thus a confrontation begins.

For Olivier Assayas's "Quartier des Enfants Rouges", Maggie Gyllenhaal is an actress who has a passion for narcotics and thus an interesting short to watch her drugged out.

For Australian filmmaker Christopher Doyle, who we know for his work in a variety of camera work for Asian films "Porte de Choisy" features Asian women in France and a sort of nod to the "Chung King Express" days, a classic Faye Wong hit is played during his short.

As for my favorites, Spanish writer-director Isabel Coixet's "Bastille" is a short about a man who is planning to confess to his wife that he wants to leave her. But before he tells her, she drops the news that she has a terminal illness and is dying. And decides to be with her for the remainder of her life and rediscovers he loves her until its too late.

In "Place de Fetes", German writer-director Oliver Schmitz directs a tragic tale of a man who works at a parking garage and falls for a woman he meets. He very much wants to meet her again but when they do, it's not in the best circumstances.

For "Faubourg Saint-Denis", German writer-director Tom Tykwer has an interesting short which features an actress played by Natalie Portman and a young blind man (Melchior Besion). The young man thinks his girlfriend has broken up with him and reminisces of his times with her. This camera and editing/post-production work for this alone was impressive.

"Plae de Victories" by Japanese writer-director Nobuhiro Suwa's short is a mother (played by Juliette Binoche) who mourns her son who has died and just wants to see and hold him one more time. It's a touching short.

There are a few segments that were ok and others that were freaky such as a vampire tale starring Elijah Wood but all in all, I really enjoyed this film.

For one, to have 22 directors come together for 18 shorts about love in Paris and for them to do it in their own style, and some who were able to work with the talent that they really wanted was just very cool. Location scouting for this film was just done well. Every outdoor scene, restaurant scene...everything was well selected and overall, I enjoyed the film.

Now with that being said, both these films are not for everyone. There are those who will watch it and just think both are a waste of their time. While there will be those who watch it and just see the beauty of these two films.

There are different kinds of love and for the directors to explore those differences, that's what I found so fascinating.

"Solid, but lacking in some parts... 3 1/2 Stars ", We picked this up a Blockbuster one night, not really knowing what it was about, but I love indie films and it looked interesting. The movie is 18 vignettes about love in the different neighborhoods of Paris.

I gave this movie 3 1/2 stars because the vignettes are sort of hit a or miss. Some of them are really beautiful, touching and thought provoking. Unfortunately, on some of them, I felt that the directors where trying a little too hard to be advant guard, and in turn made some of the stories a little too hard to understand on first viewing. Here is a breakdown of the vignettes, and my rating for each:

Montmartre- 3 stars - I thought it was a sweet opening to the movie, but I had a hard time feeling the chemistry between the two actors.

Quais de Seine - 5 stars - My bf and I both loved this one. The girl was unbelievably beautiful, and her monologue about her faith and what makes someone beautiful was touching without being preachy.

Le Marais - 2.5 - This one was only okay. I kind of figured out the little "twist" and so it was a bit of a let down.

Tuileries - 3 - This is one a the few funny bits of the film. Steve Buscemi doesn't have to much in order to be funny, and this was showcased in this story.

Loin du 16e - 4 - I loved the simplicity of this story. We just see her mostly commuting, but the final scene when she is singing to the other child and looks out the window, is a little heartbreaking.

Porte de Choisy - 2 - I've watched this one many times, and though I sort of understand it, I just don't like it very much. This is one of the ones where I felt the director was trying to hard to stand out.

Bastille - 5 - This was a brilliant display of the old saying "love is a choice." Again, this story was so simple, but so beautiful and heartbreaking in the end.

Place des Victoires - 5+ - IMHO this is the best vignette of the movie. The acting was impeccable and the scene where she sees her son is so touching.

Tour Eiffel - 4 - This is one of the stories where the advant guard style really works. It's a very sweet story and the kid is hilarious.

Parc Monceau - 3 - I would have liked this a little better if I could have heard Nick Nolte a little better. I felt like the sound was off, but there was a nice twist at the end.

Quartier des Enfants Rouges - 2 - I just wasn't feeling this one that much - nuff said.

Place des fêtes - 4 - This was one of the stronger stories.

Pigalle - 3 - I loved the music in the scene and thought it was very cute and funny.
Quartier de la Madeleine - 2.5 - Kind of strange...

Père-Lachaise - 2.5 - This one was okay. I thought it was funny, and I liked the end, but it lacked something.

Faubourg Saint-Denis - 5 - I loved this story. I loved the filming technique that was used as they were standing in the train station, and Natalie Portman was perfectly cast as the free spirited girlfriend.

Quartier Latin - 3 - Funny, funny, funny. These two veteran actors are great together.

14e arrondissement - 5 - Margo Matrindale as Carol was perfect. I loved how she feel in love with Paris and Paris fell in love with her. This was the perfect ending to a solid movie.


"Lovely and amazing", This has quickly become one of my most favorite movies- or, favorite collection of movies. There isn't a single short in this collection that didn't touch me in some way; though a few are simply outstanding, all of them are stupendously acted and directed. The cinematography is amazing. You will fall in love with Paris...

"A bland buffet... ", Around 18 or so short video vignettes having little in common other than the fact that they take place in different parts of Paris. Nothing offensive here but also nothing that grabbed me by the lapels. Your mileage may vary.

"Light and Sweet", If you can't afford a trip to Paris this year--and who can?--the next best thing would be 90 minutes with this entertaining montage of stories set in the French capital. Not every story presented is as totally compelling or as well told, but overall, this collection is great fun. Despite the French title of the film, this is a work with a decided American perspective, and for that reason, maybe even more enjoyable for American audiences.

"Hated it", What can I say? I've recently developed a slight fascination with France, but this film really turned me off. It is a collection of (very) short films supposedly highlighting the quirks of everyday life in Paris. Each story takes place in a different part of town and I suppose they are intended to show the many faces of the renowned city. Personally, I just thought it was weird. Most of the stories seemed completely inane, and just when I thought something was going to happen, they would end abruptly and move on to the next story. The first few installments were slightly interesting, but they seemed to get worse as the film progressed. As for the content, what can I say? Parisians are strange people. I'd like to think I'm more open-minded than many Americans, but I just couldn't relate with most of these people. Maybe the target audience was those who already know and love Paris, but if they were trying to win over new admirers, they certainly didn't succeed with me.
