Paris Je T’aime – A Movie Unlike Anything You Have Seen

Paris does has her magic. When I was studying in UK, I spent most of my school holiday in Paris with my Aunt and Uncle who worked there. I used to know the city inside out, where the historical sites were, and where the best ice-cream store was. Indeed while I was in Paris years later under a work attachment, the city has inspired me to write. Most of my older articles were written in Paris. Of which, my favourite articles are One Late Afternoon (At McDonald’s), Love Fiction, and One Simple Day. And I have written a number of poems as well. One of which (Death Marriage) has over one thousand hits making it the most popular article in this website.

Back to the movie “Paris, Je T’aime”, it is a collection of 18 short stories packed with International movie stars. I picked “Paris, Je T’aime” because I thought Natalie Portman is the main actress. However, she is one of the 46 actors in the movie excluding the extras. Directed by 22 directors and written by 25 script writers with one common theme – love, “Paris, Je T’aime” presents love in different aspects filled with twists that keep audience entertained throughout. My favourite story is definitely Natalie Portman’s “Faubourg Saint-Denis” (the rest of my Movie Review Squad has their own favourites).

Perhaps Paris holds a special place in my heart and perhaps I do enjoy reading short stories grouped under a common theme, “Paris Je T’aime” is by far the most original work I have seen so far. I have included a trailer below. Hope you’ll enjoy watching it.

Edit: I watched the trailer again and realised that I have missed out 2 of them. Hence, the total number of short stories is 18 instead.
