I only watched this for half an hour, then turned it off as it was so boring. Short films are rarely engaging, and simply sticking dozens back to back does nothing to make it any more engaging. Some people may love this sort of thing, but really it is very dull.
This film is made up of 18 short pieces - you can't call most of them stories - made by top international directors and starring some great actors such as Nick Nolte, Juliet Binoche, Ben Gazzara, Bob Hoskins et al.. The directors appear to have been given free rein to express themselves with the result that self-indulgence, quirkiness, whimsicality and occasional obtuseness abound and not all of their efforts come off which leaves the viewer unfulfilled and perplexed in a few cases.For all of that it's worthwhile persisting until the end, mainly because the vignettes, that's the word to describe them, get better and the film as a whole takes a gradual hold and you feel that overall you've had a rewarding experience.
