   Summary: 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.

   Summary: 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...

   Summary: 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.

   Summary: 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.

 Rating 2   Written on May 14, 2008
   Summary: 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.
