i saw paris je taime because a friend really want to see it so i go along with him . go in and i be indifferent about the film but leave the theater i really regret waste 2 hour of my life sit through this tepid production . the story be almost completely forgettable except for the fact that most of them be awful . what do gena rowlands and ben gazzara have to do with paris . the endless parade of american actor most definitely give this french film a remarkably non french feel . the clichés about paris be endless . yes and most of them be play with clichés about paris but by spend so much time make fun of french clichés and they directly and regrettably promote them once more . yes and paris be the city of love . we get it . the bad segment be represent the one direct by wes craven ( oscar wilde ) while the one with nick nolte while the mime one ( the bad . ) while the hair product one while the one with juliette binoche ( willem dafoe a a cowboy in the middle of paris . ) while the vampire one ( when i think of paris i think of elijah wood ) . the one with natalie portman and which really look like a mentos commercial and it be stupid ( the blind young man should know portman be just play a part when she call him ) . on and on it go . it felt endless . i do not like the coen bros one as well . it really play with those parisien clichés but i do not find it funny . just annoy . the gus van sant one be interest but it be so slight ( and the punchline be obvious ) that it barely register . there be only two successful segment and they be the one about the immigrant nanny who leave her baby at a kindergarten only to babysit a baby for a rich woman . nice irony there . and the segment about the african who be stab . it the best segment in the whole film but this segment have nothing to do with paris . the story could have take place in any city around the world . the last segment and the one with the chubby middle age woman be sorta interesting too but the underlie tone be bad . they want to celebrate her limited grasp of french but the segment come off a be condescend . the whole project felt force and uninspired . almost like the french government sponsor this film to promote tourism . all in all and with only about 10 to 15 minute of interest stuff and paris je taime be an awful cinematic experience .
