After seeing this movie I figure it was made for the directors, critics, etc., not the general public. Maybe if I had been to Paris I would have enjoyed it more, but we were tempted to leave midway.

Walked out after 7 of the stories. Stupid, incoherent, like a director's drug-induced set of dreams? And of course Paris is photogenic per one of the reviews. But the movie itself? Stupid.

Has some decent little vignettes but is overall too long and disconnected to be fully engaging.

This movie consists of 18 short films. Each is linked to a different district (arrondissement) of Paris and deals with love or relationships. Each story is not related to any other, has different directors and actors. There are some big namesThis movie consists of 18 short films. Each is linked to a different district (arrondissement) of Paris and deals with love or relationships. Each story is not related to any other, has different directors and actors. There are some big names in the movie like Wes Craven, Bob Hoskins, Gerard Depardieu, Elijah Wood or Natalie Portman to name a few. The main problem is that not all stories are equally good. While for some I would give a 10/10 others I would skip without a second thought. I think I praise my favorite short films from this movie and say this include the directors and actors there. I must point out that I see no real garbage entry or huge misstep in this regard. My favorites were “Bastille” as it shows how a single thing can change everything and that the past is never truly forgotten. “Quartier de Madelaine” for the uniqueness, visual style and conclusion. “Pere-Lachaise” for the idea, character Oscar and outcome. “Pigalle” for the actors and final twist. As sidenote: This is how you can subvert expectations in a nice way. “Places des fetes” for the beautiful sad story and emotions. “Tour Eiffel” for the humor and ideas. “Quais de Seine” but it fells more like the beginning for a bigger story I would like to see. “Loin du 16e” for this interesting short film that gave me a lot to think. Those are 8 out of 18 I truly liked. Sadly that means I have to give a lower rating to be fair. Overall I enjoyed this movie and idea to make a short film for each district. They continued this with New York and Berlin. Like I said not everything is excellent. I give a 6/10 but say there are 10/10 episodes in this movie. Expand
