Ah, Paris Je T'aime. I remember this film.

Which is surprising, because it's instantly forgettable.

A mismatched selection of amateur looking short films, the only reason for them being thrown together in one collection is they're all set in beautiful Paris.

Thinking of it as one film is difficult, as the success of each short is very individual. Some work, some don't. Overall it's a nice, mushy watch but you never really truly seem to grasp the overall flavour, and as a result this film seems pretty bland.

As you would expect from a film made up from many short films, it's hit and miss. Some are wonderful, some a plain crap. Lookin' at you, Wes Craven.

Ok, more than a few of these shorts are garbage, but the others more than make up for them.

And Paris is always as charming as a city can be.

Plus, Natalie Portman and Drakurylenko, so...

The whole thing kind of feels like a student project with extremely high production values. Some of the shorts are lovely, some are ropey, and collectively they feel more tiresome than charming.

A series of shorts by a bunch of different directors, each taking place in a different neighborhood of Paris. The quality varies a bit, but mostly sticks with terrible. The Coen Brothers one was definitely the best, and there were a couple more that were pretty good or just ok. Wes Craven's, about a couple getting relationship advice from the ghost of Oscar Wilde, is especially awful.

20 different 5 minute shorts from some of the best directors in the world, including The Coen Brothers, Alfonso Cuarón, Alexander Payne, and Gus Van Sant just to name a few. You get a top notch all star cast that includes Juliet Binoche, Steve Buscemi, Miranda Richardson, Gena Rowlands, Gerard Depardieu, Natalie Portman, and the late Ben Gazzara just to name a few.

You get some good, really good, and really great shorts. Some I like more than others, but I appreciate each one being so unique and different from the last. As a whole, this is a fantastic love letter to the city of lights and love, Paris.

A collage made out of sheer love, a perfect winter afternoon movie, when you can relax and let yourself go with the flow. Some of the segments are mind blowing, some are not, but in my opinion, it would really suck if a movie about love was perfect.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Usually I'm not inclined to watch big collaboration movie projects like this one because everything is usually too disjointed, but I really enjoyed this one. My favorite shorts had to be "Le Marais," "Tuileries," "Bastille," "Place des Fetes," and "Pere-Lachaise." Wonderful acting all around, but the film that caught my attention the most was "Place des Fetes" because of how much more effective it was executed than the others in such a short amount of time.

Hooray on the VIIIe arrondissement, the Xe arrondissement and the bittersweet XIVe arrondissement...

Me sigue gustando. Y sigo sintiéndome asquerosamente sensible y cursi cuando la veo. ¿Hay una "New york, te amo", verdad?

Beautifully eclectic mix of stories, directors, actors and themes.

A few of these short films are great, all are watchable but some seem rather pointless.

Obviously a film comprising 20 stories, all by different writers and directors, is going to be a little uneven. How could it not be? But I was genuinely surprised at how good most of the 20 small films that made up Paris Je T'aime were. Some were particularly good, like the excellent opening film by Bruno Podalydès, the tragic story of the Nigerian immigrant by Oliver Schmitz, and the brilliantly hilarious and touching final film by Alexander Payne. A few, unfortunately like Vincenzo Natali's vampire story and the Coen brothers' trite Buscemi piece, were absolute shite. But really most of the films were good, and Paris always looks great.

Not too bad, Coen's short was the best. Little bit of everything in this one.
