i take my 19 year old daughter with me to see this interesting exercise in movie making . i always find it intrigue to get view and opinion from a different generation on movie and especially a i be such a cynic myself . it good to get an unjaded opinion from someone who hasn not yet reach the be there and do that approach to every movie she see . i be pleased to say that we both really enjoy it and regard it a a successful mother or daughter even out . far and far good than go to see some brain dead chick flick and which i gather be what we be suppose to enjoy and accord to the demographic . eighteen director be ask to produce a short piece about each of the arrondissements of paris and a city i haven not visit in 20 year . but i wish i have . they be loosely link by join shot and and represent different approach to love in the city regard in popular culture a the quintessential romantic capital of the world . some of the film work well than others but and a other reviewer have say and it never descend too far into kitsch . some be funny and some be sad and some intriguing and some just plain puzzling ( i be still try to discern some deep inner truth to the fly tiger and hidden dragon hairdressing salon . ) some be just fun and perhaps shouldn not be assign too much meaning ( the vampire and the tourist for example . ) possibly my only criticism of the whole film and be that it make paris look too good . it can also be cold and wet and foggy and indifferent and miserable and or and in summer and baking hot and packed with so many tourist that you feel like a sardine in a can queue up for hour to see every attraction . but i be nit pick . my personal favourite by far be the coen brother film shot on the tuileries metro station and and star a perfectly cast steve buscemi a a confused tourist who inadvertently find himself catch up in a lover tiff . absolutely perfect and and very and very funny and without buscemi have to say a word . i also perversely enjoy the piece about the two mime artist and which be probably the close the movie get to be cutesy that certainly teeter on the edge of kitsch and but it just stay on the right side . rufus sewell and emily mortimer gain insight from an encounter with oscar wilde tomb leave me pretty indifferent and and juliette binoche try to cope with the death of her small son make me very and very uncomfortable . i think both the bob hoskins or fanny ardent piece and and ben gazzara or gena rowlands fell a bit flat and but maggie gyllenhaal be good ( have she corner the market in junky . i watch sherry baby last week . ) but i felt the two social justice piece ( for want of a good way of put it ) and work very well . by that and i mean first of all the film about the young mother leave her own child in a day care to go and look after someone else baby across town . and then the film about the african migrant and struggle to exist on the margin of an indifferent society and who be stab and dy in the street in front of a young and new paramedic . yet another murder statistic and in a world which see thousand of migrant die in the struggle to reach what they see a a good life and every year . i think both piece very well observe . the final film and 14th arrondissement and in which margo martindale play a postal worker from colorado recount the story of her first trip to paris in very badly accent french to her night school french class and move me . a perfect end and to a good and intrigue if not quite great and movie . paris je taime be an ambitious idea and but it work pretty well .
