2 day in paris ( 2007 ) be produce or write or direct or edit or score or star by julie delpi who also recruit her real parent to play the parent of marion and her alter ago . julie delpy who be absolutely charm a celene and the heroine of two richard linklater movie ( before the sunrise and before sunset ) and try to make the similar film or rather follow up about the couple that have be together for few year and experience some problem in their relationship and and try to work them out . judging by the fact that delpy have throw so much of herself in all aspect of create the film and she deserve my deep respect . the problem be and as much a her movie walk the same territory a before the sunrise and before sunset ( it take place in paris a the title suggest ) and it be not as good a they be . the chemistry between two main character and the french marion ( delpy ) and new yorker and jack ( adam goldberg ) be completely non existent and the plot be very thin but it be not even the big problem . the film have no subtlety and elegance and wit and or charm and and if it do and they be very well hidden . yes and few time woody allen name come to my mind because adam goldberg seem do homage to woody allen character and neurotic and unsecured and and whine and not particularly good one . he be mean and often without the reason . the scene in the beginning of the movie when jack give the group of the american tourists the apparently wrong direction to louver just because he be sure that they be conservative bush supporter do not make him a white knight and and it be just not funny . i also do not find charm marion send to her family via e mail the picture of naked jack with the colorful balloon . i have nothing against picture a la nude and and from what i be able to notice and jack have nothing to be ashamed of but how about privacy and trust in the relationship . whatever happen between two people in their intimacy should stay between them because it belong to them only . how about simply ask a boyfriend if he would not mind his funny picture be send to his girlfriend family . do sensitive and intelligent and feisty marion ever think of it . i be so much in love and could not get enough of one afternoon in paris few year back with celene and jesse . 77 minute long before sunrise be so clever and so romantic and and so move that it make me want to see another movie with french girl and her american love and to find out what could have happen to them . well and little do i know that it would be 2 day in paris . it be sad for me to admit and but delpy follow up to two of the most romantic modern screen observation of the relationship be a disappointment . i should mention that delpy movie have some positive side to it . i like how she show her paris and very real and tough and and not sentimental . i like for the most part her parent albert delpy and marie pillet in their role . there be one scene that i enjoy and every time i think of it and it make me smile . on their way to visit jim morrison grave at per lash and marion asks jake and why do you want to see jim morrison grave . you do not even like the door . and he answer and it be a famous grave . i be a huge fan of val kilmer . sadly and all the bright point be not enough to save the movie i never think that two day in one of my favorite place in the world may be so unbearably long and disappointing .
