Review of Paris Je T'aime (2006) by Joey S — 21 Mar 2013
Paris Je T'aime is an anthology movie that revolves around love in (and of) Paris, and it's actually surprisingly great. Oftentimes anthology movies are incredibly uneven because it's only natural for a few of the segments to be weaker than the rest.
Paris Je T'aime has 18 segments in all, and miraculous almost of all of them are at least somewhat good. There are maybe three or four segments that didn't interest me as much, but none of them were bad, just slightly less entertaining when compared to the other superb segments.
There were three in particular I really loved, which were "Bastille," "Place des Fêtes," and "14th Arrondissement," directed by Isabel Coixet, Oliver Schmitz, and Alexander Payne respectively.
The first two of those are very emotional and affecting for stories that only last around eight minutes each, and Alexander Payne's is hilarious in his typical idiosyncratic way but with an undercurrent of sweetness.
All in all Paris Je T'aime is a pretty incredible anthology movie just based on the fact that nearly everything works and comes together very nicely, and it's well worth watching as an ode to Paris, love, and storytelling of the best possible kind.
