I don't what the title has to do with it, but it was a very ill conceived, stupid movie The most stupid movie I have ever seen.
I'm usually not a fan of short stories as I like to see things actually develop but would still recommend this to anyone who enjoys variety of a theme. This is one you can start watching now go on to something else and come back to it hours days or week's later. If you love Paris and love quirky films this is for you. Not a blockbuster but a nice pleasant series of unrelated vignettes with Paris as the common theme.
It's about a group of love stories taking place in Paris. It has too many short stories in this film that get you out of focus.
This movie has a similar idea to the film "Love Actually", but you just can't compare its quality to it. You lose track and you do not know where the hech is this movie heading.
I was very disappointed with this movie. I never saw two vampies fall in love before (except interview with the vampire), however in this movie it seems Paris had an effect on two vampires in that sense.
I was disappointed with this film, and I do not think this represents French movies well And what disappointed me more, is that many famous actors and actresses acted in it.
However, they are mostly weird love stories.
and each set in its own unique quarter of the city. As with most such works, "Paris, Je T'Aime" turns out to be something of a hit-and-miss proposition overall, with the episodes ranging in quality from the clever and touching to the precious and banal.
Still, given its obvious limitations, the movie is moderately entertaining on a superficial level and it does give us a chance to spend a couple of hours touring the streets and neighborhoods of one of the world`s most magical cities, all for the unbelievably low price of a movie ticket or rental fee - though it must be stated right up front that an overall graininess in the picture fails to do justice to the stunning locales. The inherent weakness in this approach to storytelling is that the extreme brevity of the tales doesn't allow us to develop much of a rooting interest in either the characters or the various dilemmas they are facing before we are hustled off to another, equally underdeveloped, batch.
If you just can't find the time to take that trip to France this year, you at least have "Paris, Je T'Aime" to get you there and back in just a few short hours. Of the actors, the most readily recognizable are Steve Buscemi, Juliette Binoche, Miranda Richardson, Willem Dafoe, Nick Nolte, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Bob Hoskins, Emily Mortimer, Rufus Sewell, Natalie Portman, Ben Gazzara, Gena Rowlands and Gerard Depardieu, who not only appears in the second-to-the-last segment but helped to direct it as well.
And, frankly, where else are you going to see Frodo (Elijah Wood) having his throat ripped open by a sexy vampire. A cinematic love-letter to the City of Enchantment, "Paris, Je T'Amie" is a compilation of eighteen very short films (most under six minutes in length), each crafted around the theme of love (this is France, after all).
Each piece has also been helmed by a different director, some of them quite well-known even to American audiences: Gus Van Sant, Wes Craven, Joel and Ethan Coen, Alexander Payne, and Alfonso Cuaron, among others.
love storys by the pound never a clear ending for any but its more to instill loves many forms and situations
