Paris J'etaime

Not the usual fare but it's original enough in concept. 18 seriously short stories viewing different sorts of love with Paris as the backdrop. That makes it sound soppy and like a chick flick but it's not. Actors and directors from all over the world have contributed with The Coen Brothers penning there own story for one.

Steve Buscemi, Bob Hoskins, Nick Nolte, Elijah Wood, Natalie Portman, Gerard Depardeu, Maggie Gillenhall.....so so many recognised names as well as many character actors you recognise but can't put a name to. Some of the stories I found quite amusing, some very sad.....some even quite quite pointless. But as a whole it works...even if I did want to find out what happened next on a few.

4/5
