paris, je t'aime

shockingly, this movie was called paris je t'aime. (paris, i love you). it was a fantastic movie. all these directors made short films, about five to ten minutes long, and they put them all together to make one movie. you don't really get the feeling that all of the films are connected until the very end. you're left with a satisfying feeling that all is right with the world, and anything that might not be completely right has the chance to get that way. some of the films are funny, some are sad, some are full of hope, and all of them have something good to get out of them.

one of my favorite segments was about a blind guy and girl that fall in love. i suppose i shouldn't say exactly what happens, but it has a montage of how they met, and the progression of their relationship, and there are some really cool shots in it.

one that i found really funny was this mostly silent segment. it's a boy describing how his mime parents met in jail and fell in love. it has a very surrealistic, cartoonish feel to it, which makes it really entertaining.

another one was about a couple walking around in a parisian cemetery. they get really mad at each other, and the guy some how gets knocked out, and the ghost of oscar wilde helps him get back together with the girl. it caught me completely off guard, because most of the other films are semi-realistic.

i need to work on my movie reviewing skills. but this movie was good. go watch it.
