Visions from the capital of romance

On Friday I went to the cinema with Nedra to see Paris, Je t'aime. I had been wanting to see this film for quite a while and finally it came out in the cinemas here last weekend. I was intrigued to see how 18 different visions of life and love in Paris could be put together to make a film. There is a segment for almost all of the 20 arrondissments of Paris, each filmed by a different director.

The film was fantastic. Some of the stories were not as engaging as others but they only last about five minutes, so there is really no time to get bored. The majority of the plots are interesting and some of them are fantastic. I particular liked the Coen brothers segment starring Steve Buscemi as it was very funny, the Isabel Coixet offering was very moving. It is really worth going to see. It is difficult to pick a favourite part of the film since all the stories are so different but you can spend hours trying like Nedra and I did while walking to the Tibetan restaurant for dinner and even while we were waiting for the food to arrive.
