Paris je t'aime (2006)



I really enjoyed this movie. It wasn't just some director making another romance. It was a collaboration.
20 Filmmakers.
5 Minutes Each.
incredible.
There were many fabulous actors and directors featured. Most famous are Gus Van Sant, Elijah Wood, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman. 
My favorite was the short with Natalie Portman, one called Faubourg Saint-Denis. People say I look like her even though I can't see the resemblance. It starts with a blind man reading. he gets a phone call from a woman. She commands, "just listen," and goes on about how their love has died as summer turns to fall. Most of the five minutes of the short contain a fast paced montage showing the young couple. They sum up their full relationship in a series of clips, stop motion, and sped up footage. 
This short was not the only good one. Some are sad, some are mean. They all revolve around love. Not just the kind between a man and a woman. 
It's really an entertaining flick. perfect to see with a loved one or by yourself. All revolving around the city of love.
