Paris, Je T'aime

Movie Review
Paris, Je T'aime
Various Directors

Thank God for SQ and its line of good movies in its in-flight entertainment system, I got to see another fine movie. Paris, Je T'aime is actually a collection of short movies done by various directors revolving around the theme of Paris, beauty, and well you guessed it, love. The stories range from the very normal to the very strange and the movie genres are mostly drama, comedy, some a mix of drama and comedy, some abstract, one, strangely, horror.

A dizzyingly pleasant journey of various stories, Paris Je T'aime will surely please those who are looking for movies with Indie vibes, and a lot of romance. I will not do a review for every single one of them, because to tell you the truth, I don't remember all of them. All I could say is that not every one of them is good (there are really great ones, and some downright boring), but on the whole, this montage delivers. Heck, it gave me a lasting impression. That must've count for something, right? Paris, here I come. And, well, this is where the movie succeeds: the celebration of Paris as a city of love and romance.

Not for casual movie-goers, this movie is definitely recommended for those who like indie movies, art movies, and especially those who are just plain serious movie maniacs.
