Vintage Review: July 4, 2006 Paris Je T'aime by Gus Van Sant..., 2006 (R)
Paris comes to life in this whimsical patchwork of 18 five-minute shorts united by a common theme -- love in the City of Lights -- and helmed by an international cast of filmmakers, including Gus Van Sant, Olivier Assayas and Alexander Payne. Natalie Portman plays an American actress who captures the heart of a blind student; Juliette Binoche is visited by a ghostly Willem Dafoe; Bob Hoskins solicits a prostitute's advice on pleasing his wife.
"I'm a Parisian and I saw a foolish wonderful movie yesterday named "Paris je t'aime". It's 21 short movies about Paris, made by the greatest filmmakers in the world, like Wes Craven, Ethan and Joel Cohen, Gus Van Sant, Christopher Doyle and else.... A lot. And a lot of great actresses and actors, like Steve Buscemi, Gérard Depardieu, Natalie Portman, Elijah Wood, Willem Dafoe, Marianne Faithfull, Gena Rowlands, Miranda Richardson... Wonderful, some cliches, but some just extraordinary stories, that you would like to be longer, but it still only last 4 minutes. A very good way to see Paris as the capital of love."
