Paris, Je T'aime est un film très beau.
my initial thoughts after seeing it were something like goddamn it, i really want to go to paris now. i'll explain a little. paris, je t'aime is a collaboration movie. 18 different directors wrote about 20 minutes of the movie, all taking place in paris. some of it is in french, some of it is in english, some of it is a totally american accented french that drove me INSANE hell i haven't spoken french in over a year and i sound better than that. all of it is beautiful. i wouldn't say this is five stars out of five stars because there is no continuity, and some of the sections are just weird and senseless. like the vampire section. it was so bad, i laughed. a lot.
but my favorite part was the natalie portman-blind guy scene. it was adorable and well thought out and it ended so much better than i thought. i was going to cry but then i didn't. i wish i could have JUST that scene. i'd watch it all the time.
the oscar wilde bit was interesting and so was the one where the muslim girl trips et ma clarks? but i am not a fan of the very very end when they went back and gave you just a shot of each one after you had seen it... lame.
but i recommend it and i will probably see new york, i love you, when it comes out.
