Paris, Je T'aime on DVD (2006)

Dull

A customer from London , 09/02/2008

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.

Perfect

A customer from Birmingha, England , 07/08/2007

A brilliant film. Every single segment was special in some way. With 20 directors and 18 segments you're bound to enjoy at least some of them. Never mind what people say about it. It's got to be seen. Absolutely perfect film. It makes one realise many things

For a sentimental mood

Andybe from Richmond [Highly rated reviewer] , 06/02/2008

Some reviewers say this is a must see - it isn't; some say this is rubbish - nah... Paris, Je T'aime does, however, require you to be in a somewhat sentimental mood. A couple of the shorts were quite funny, a couple were quite touching, a couple had a nice ironic twist, and a couple were really lame. Mostly, though, they were just ok - something for everyone, perhaps.

Watching this can bring back memories such as your first trip to the Eiffel Tower or searching for Jim Morrison's grave and finding - well - a slab of stone. It also reminds you of certain facts such as neither Elijah Wood nor Natalie Portman can act.

If you're sentimental, this is a nice montage; if you're not, either rent something else or find someone who is and get a nice bottle of wine.

Not as bad as all that

Jo Lloyd-Rogers from London , 06/07/2007

Believe what you read, this film isn't coherent, and the quality of the 20 or so individual shorts is a little hit and miss. I was, never the less, glad I'd seen it, if for nothing else than the utter brilliance of the last film by Alexander Payne, both hilarious and touching, there were audible laughter and tears in the space of it's less than 10 minutes.

Of the other segments - ranging from the comic to the overly sentimental to the bizarre - I most enjoyed those of whose directors I knew most. Gus Van Sant and the Coen brothers both giving little nods to their other work for the watching fans.

Yes, there are some bad bits, but when both the bad and the good last only 5 minutes there is plenty to find diverting and enjoyable here.
