Paris, Je táime

Finally, had the chance to watch Paris, je táime. Was suppose to watch it on sat nite but tickets were all sold out. The two hour french film consists of eighteen five-minute arrondissements (written and directed by different people). The film had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18 last year.



The film speaks of romantic encounters taking place in various spots of the capital. Each short, running five minutes, bears the hallmark of great international filmmakers. In the credits of this atypical collective film, celebrating both love and the art of cinema, appear the names of actors as prestigious as Natalie Portman, Gena Rowlands, Elijah Wood, Ben Gazzara, Willem Dafoe, Steve Buscemi and Catherine Deneuve.

Each director had to tell the story of a romantic encounter in one of Paris' arrondissements in under five minutes, and on a relatively tight budget. Through the neighbourhoods of Paris, love is veiled, revealed, imitated, sucked dry, reinvented and awakened.

After watching this, i'm looking forward to more good foreign films in the upcoming film festival already. If u enjoy foreign films, this is recommended. Go watch it!
