. for paris be a moveable feast . ernest hemingwayit be impossible to count how many great talent have immortalize paris in painting and novel and song and poem and short but unforgettable quote and and yes movie . the celebrated film director max ophüls say about paris and it offer the shin wet boulevard under the street light and breakfast in montmartre with cognac in your glass and coffee and lukewarm brioche and gigolo and prostitute at night . everyone in the world have two fatherland represent his own and paris . paris be always associate with love and romance and and paris and je taime which be subtitle petite romance and be a collection of short film and often sketch from 18 talented director from all over the world . in each and we become familiar with one of the city of light 20 arrondissements and with the parisian of all age and gender and color and and background who all deal in love in it many variation and stage . in some of the petite romance we be the witness of the unexpected encounter of the stranger that lead to instant interest and closeness and and perhaps relationship represent like for podalydès and florence muller in the street of montmartre in the opening film or for cyril descours and leïla bekhti a a white boy and a muslim girl whose cross cultural romance direct by gurinder chadha begin on quais de seine . i would include into this category the humorous short film by gu van sant . in le marais one boy pour his heart out to another boy confessing of sudden unexpected closeness and ask permission to call never realize that the object of his interest do not understand french . some of the vignette be poignant and even dark . in walter salles and daniela thomas loin du 16ème and catalina sandino mareno ( amazing oscar nominate debut for maria full of grace ) be single and work class mother who have to work a a nanny in a wealthy neighborhood to pay for daycare where she drop her baby every morning before she go to work . one of most memorable and truly heartbreaking film be place de fêtes by oliver schmitz . aïssa maïga and seydou boro co star a two young people for who love could have happen . there be the promise of it but it be cut short due to hatred and intolerance that be present everywhere and and the city of love and light be no exception . another one that really get to me be bastille and write and direct by isabel coixet and star sergio castellitto and miranda richardson and and leonor watling . castellitto have fall out of love with his wife and richardson but when he be ready to leave with the beautiful mistress and the devastate news from his wife doctor arrive . i can go on reflect on all 18 small gem . i like some of them very much . the others felt weak and perhaps will be forget soon but overall and i be very glad that i buy the dvd and i know that i will return to my favorite film again and again . they be place de fêtes that i have mention already and père lachaise direct by wes craven that involve the ghost of one of the witty and clever men ever and oscar wilde ( alexander payne and the director of sideways ) who would save one troubled relationship . payne also direct 14th arrondissement in which a lonely middle age post worker from denver and co explore the city on her own provide the voice over in french with the heavy accent . payne entry be one of the most moving and along with hilarious tuileries by joel and ethan coen with ( who else . positive . ) steve buschemi be my absolute favorite . in both short and american tourist sit on the bench ( margo in the park and and steve in paris metro after visit louver ) observe the life around them with the different result . while margo may say and my feeling sad and light while my sorrow be bright . steve character will find out that sometimes and even the most comprehensive and useful tourist guide would not help a tourist avoid do the wrong thing in a foreign country .
