Morning! Today we have a wonderful little film called "Paris, je t'aime." Broken up into eighteen short films by different directors, almost all of the twenty arrondissments of Paris are represented. The pieces follow, reveal, hide, study, imitate, and reinvent love. I admit, this is one of my favorite films - it's basically wonderful. Some parts are feel good, other parts make you wanna cry, and some bits are just hysterical. Some are in French, some in English, and one is mostly in Korean.
The directors and actors involved are rather star studded. Director wise, we have the Coen's, Gus Van Sant, Christopher Doyle, and Wes Craven just to name a few, while our casts include everyone from Maggie Gyllenhaal (who gets wickedly high) and Elijah Wood (starring in a fantastic pulp vampire sketch) to Nick Nolte, Natalie Portman, Marianne Faithfull, and a magical cowboy Willem Dafoe.
If you don't already own this film, I suggest you at least go out and rent it. The short the film ends with is beautiful enough to prompt tears. So I leave you with this trailer.
