2/5 If this is Paris, I don't want to go there
  by Roger Lafontaine (Youngstown, OH USA)
These short little vignettes don't ever add up to anything. After 3 or 4 the cliches start piling on and it's boring. They might as well have filmed this in Kansas City as far as learning about or even simply seeing Paris. Apparently there is absolutely nothing to see or do in Paris It's just like any other nondescript city in the western world, and it's extremely violent and unfriendly. If this is truly Paris I don't want to go there. I love French movies as I am French myself but this one is simply phony. Out of the 20 French movies I have on my shelf this one goes right to the bottom of my list.

5/5 great!

I had seen a couple of these in my college french class, and liking them I decided to get the whole DVD.
The shorts are really lovely, a lot of content in a small amount of time.
I'm very happy with the purchase.

5/5 Like finding life and love all over anew!

I saw this film on the Sundance Channel and was absolutely stunned! I ordered the two-dvd set. I don't collect many films but this film brought something anew to my life and I knew I had to have a copy of my own. I did not find this film to be an "evening waster", but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't think you will ever forget this film if you see it.

The only problem I have with this particular item as a purchase is that the Bonus DVD has technical problems starting about one third of the way into it. The image starts to look like a satellite image breaking up due to interference during transmission. The DVD physically does not look damaged. I think it is the recording of the data itself perhaps in the duplication stage of manufacture.

The movie DVD itself is fine.

So...it is probably best to purchase the movie only. Too bad, because there were some interesting interviews on the Bonus DVD before it started breaking up!

I have to mention that Amazon is a very "fair' and "just" company. That is why they are blessed with so much "good will" and loyal customers! I have been one of those customers for many, many, many years now and I want to express my gratitude and appreciation of them. It is extraordinary that any company have such good "Karma" attributed to them!



1/5 Paris tu m'ennuies a mourir. Paris you bore me to death.

Overly sappy, dripping with saccharine touchy-feely good intentions. Filled with conventionally politically correct clichés, facile self-indulgent sentimentalism; the result is pretentious to the point of exasperation. Commercial cinema that tries to pass as art. On the whole hopelessly boring (and I am French...). An evening waster. Stay well away.

4/5 Good stories, all excellent acting

I love most foreign films. This is foreign with some English. I enjoyed it.
