Dans Paris

Two of French cinema's hottest actors - Louis Garrel ("The Dreamers") and Romain Duris ("The Beat That My Heart Skipped") - star as two brothers in this story of love and heartbreak set in a gorgeously atmospheric Paris.

Distraught after the end of a long relationship, Paul (Romain Duris) moves back into his father's (Guy Marchand) apartment where his womanising brother Jonathan (Louis Garrel) still lives. When Paul takes to his bed and refuses to rise, his father and brother both try their own methods of coaxing him from his depression, yielding somewhat mixed results.

Director Christophe Honore deftly alternates mood and tone in this entertaining, witty and sensitive family drama which pays abullient homage to Truffaut, the "nouvelle vague" and, of course, Paris.

Starring Romain Duris, Louis Garrel, Joana Preiss, Guy Marchand, Marie-France Pisier, Alice Butaud

    Paintwork

    If there's one review you can be guaranteed to find on this site, for whatever film, it's the side-splitting 'you'd be better off watching some paint dry than watch this' variety. Unfortunately, I have to report that I'm resisting the urge to do the same with this trite piece of smug, self-satisfied crap.

    It's not that there isn't a story here, it's more that you become inadvertently overwhelmed by the stunning level of vacuity of these bourgeois Parisian morons and their wholly uninteresting travails - which would be fine if that was the point the film appeared to be making - but given it's repulsive narcissism, it doesn't appear to be logically capable of making the point it actually displays. In fact, it's quite hard to know what the film is aiming for as it's such a mish-mash of poorly executed parodies, mixed in with supposedly some sort of meaningful commentary about the nihilism of contemporary life.

    The performance of Romain Duras just about manages to raise this wretched film above the fetid sewer from which it emerged; however, I could quite happily strangle the loathsome Louis Garrel with his own poncy scarf, gently emitting a semi-orgasmic sigh as his smug visage is drained of mortality and the world is made a better place for his passing.

    Do watch this film if you like being irritated and fancy a challenge - not an intellectual or aesthetic challenge - but rather a challenge to refrain from stopping the film within 20 minutes in a flush or anger, ejecting the disc and repeatedly attacking it with a claw hammer.
