although i live in minnesota and i have be study in france lately and come across this bizarre gem of a film . this movie be amaze and to say the least . a creative and unique film and the different director each lent something different to their interpretation of love in the city of light . the first instinct be to attempt to fit each one of these little story into an overall storyline and much a can be do with 2003 love actually . this attempt and however and render the magic of each individual segment obsolete . when take at face value and with each of the short segment take a it own individual film and the love stories together tell a beautiful message . the film be strikingly bizarre at time often to the point of confusion and each individual segment can be hard to follow . still and to a watcher who pay close attention to each of the segment and the short plot line become clear after a short time . the confusion be almost intrigue while it keep you on the edge of your seat wait for what will come next . it leave the viewer wondering do that really just happen . yet also leave them satisfy that it do and indeed and occur . it the kind of movie where the viewer and upon leave the theater and can not actually decide whether they love it or they hat it . the initial reaction be to go and watch it again and again and just to see these individual life blend together into a cinematic masterpiece . the interesting decision to make the movie multilingual add something to the spectrum of people who can relate . it add to the reality of the film here and the american tourist speak english and the parisian french and and so on . the number of people that the film encompass lead to an understanding of the international language of love . from sickness to the supernatural and the love of parent to the love of husband and this film cover all the base of romantic storytelling . in it beautiful and quirky way and each unique event somehow fall into place to tell a story represent that of all type and size and nationality and and shape of love .
