One of my all time favorites.
Just what I expected
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Bookended by nifty live mosaic, Stunning city shots- patent in segues. Directors from All over The world, With A cast Both practiced And new talent. Best bits by Chomet, Coixet, Cuarón, Twyker, Schmitz. Mime, "terminal", mother, actress, nurse love, Respectively. These were grand. The rest? Meh. Tetractys poems stem from the mathematician Euclid, who considered the number series 1, 2, 3, 4 to have a mystical significance because of its sum of 10. He named it a Tetractys. Thus, these poems follow a 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 syllable format, with additional verses written in an inverted syllable count. #Tetractys #QuadrupleTetractys #PoemReview #Anthology #RomanticComedy
. . . whimsy alert though. 20 little mismatched hip movies, some awfully clever, some sweet, about the world's prettiest big city. Altogether it's too long (as these things always are) but one can fast forward, pick and choose.Gus Van Sant's and Wes Craven's pieces are my faves.And ten stars just for showing Père Lachaise Cemetery, and me screaming, 'Oh please go to Oscar Wilde's tomb!' -- and the movie following my request immediately! Yes! Pure movie super-real magic!
Paris, je t'aime, is an interesting melange of 18 vignettes directed by a host of different directors. Naturally, certain sequences are considerably more affecting than others. "Loin du 16ieme" is a rather profound look at the divide between rich and poor, as well as between native-born French women and the emigres imported to be their servants. "Quartier de la Madeleine" is a very powerful portrait of a drugged-out actress and her boyfriend/pusher. "Faubourg Saint-Denis" is a moving portrait of a young, frivolous actress (Natalie Portman), who plays with and then abandons a blind admirer. Many other sequences seem either incomplete ("Les Marais") or incomprehensible ("Porte de Choisy") but, on the whole, there are more good moments than bad in this film.My disagreement with all those who have commented on this movie favorably is that somehow this movie is supposed to make its viewers love and and admire Paris and perhaps long to visit the "city of lights". But the Paris shown in this film is in large measure an alcoholic, drugged-out, impoverished, and decadent society essentially living off the glories of its past. The only even remotely enthusiastic characters in the film are the Americans and Englishmen who are visiting: the French characters seem depressed, washed up, and largely incapable of action. I am sure that Paris remains an inspiring and beautiful city -- as it has been through the centuries. But one would never know it from watching this sorrowful portrait of a once glorious city on the way out. Love this Paris? Really?
Usually, the movie is more like a novel and you have to spend whole 2 hours to "read" it all. Some are good, some not. This one, in contrast, is a good "book" of short stories. As usual, not all are good but all in all this is great film. I've seen it several times already and, probably, will will be seeing more. It has good aftertaste and definitely worthwhile to see. At least, to make your own impression. As soon as each episode is not long (some 5-6 minutes) it is easy to skip one you do not like, at least when one decides to see it next time and one definitely does.The strange requirement to give at least 10 lines in the review. I do not want to go into details, especially episode-by-episode. There are 18 of them and all are different. I believe, each of them find the viewer.
