Paris, je t'aime


Paris, je t'aime (2006)
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401711/]

The Gist:
Man, why don't people make more films that are shorts compilations? I love shorts, absolutely adore them. It's so much easier to make a brilliant short film than it is to make a brilliant feature too. This is, as any compilation, a bit of a mixed bag but mostly very good. They all have the common theme of the evocative presence of Paris, but it's expressed in some truly unique ways. My favorites:

Faubourg Saint-Denis by Tom Tyker
Quais de Seine by Gurinder Chadha
Quartier Latin by Frederic Auburtin and Gerard Depardie
14th Arrondisement by Alexander Payne
Place des Victories by Nobuhiro Suwa
Pere Lachaise by Wes Craven (I know, weird his short would be one of my favorites)
Montmarte by Bruno Podalydes
