`~Paris, Je T'aime~`
year : 2007
verdict: 9/10
~On parle d'amour... each story defines a different look and aspect about :love:. they are all short stories... some you will find amusing, others, will make you teary-eyed...some are just plain weird like you just don't understand what they're trying to portray.
each story happens on different streets- dans la rue. Among those that are interesting, -the 1st one, it talks about a typical day, getting a parking space amidst the busy streets of paris,then meeting someone out of the blue...
-the cohen brothers' story, this is funny, a tourist, while he sits around the corner waiting for a ride, he starts to read this travel book- the do's and don'ts of Paris, how you can catch a deadly disease if you kissed somebody you don't know, how you mustn't stare at all cost if couples are fighting... then,he stumbled upon this young couple having a chaotic fight to attract his attention, what he doesn't realize is that he was already being robbed.
- another scene, this muslim girl met this young parisian guy, although both are bound by diff. religion and beliefs,the sparks are right there for them to get to know each other.
- but one story that captivated me the most was the african inspired story of this man trying his luck in paris, making ends meet, he was mesmerize by this girl he met in the parking garage while he was working as a janitor ( i think), one day, while walking on the park, he became a victim of a restless gang, trying to make fun of other people, one of the deranged gang member tried to stabbed him, just like that... to the rescue, was this girl he met once a upon a time, bec. she was a medical nurse of some sort, she was on the scene trying to save his life, the sad thing was, he asked if he could have coffee with her sometime, but it was too late bec. he was bleeding profusely,finally, he died into her arms. so sad...
i also loved the theme song of this film- sang by- Feist- "La Meme Histoire".
