PARIS JE T'AIME is a unique film because it's directed by many directors that each directs his own segment and then pieced them together for making one movie, some of the segments are brief and some longer, and the styles of each is varied.
There are many shorts but I will talk about the ones that struck me most. TUILEIRES: in the metro station an American tourist (Steve Buscemi) seats on a bench and reads a manual about good manners and casually crosses eyes with a girl that kisses him for making his boyfriend jealous. PLACE DES VICTOIRES: a mom still can't get over the loss of her young son and in the night she is visited in the town square by a mysterious cowboy (Willem Dafoe) that conforts her. QUARTIER DE LA MADELEINE: a young turist (Elijah Wood) sees a sexy vampire (Olga Kurylenko) feeding of the remains of a man, and she saves him biting him and they end up biting each other forever.
There are many others, and they don't have anything that really connects except that they are all set in Paris, but the idea was nice. Some of the performances were nice, some ok. If all the episodes were engaging I probably would have given a 9, but thanks to some lazy episodes I felt limited.
