having just returned from a week in paris, i'm all about testing my knowledge of the city's map. luckily, a certain film that roams through the city's different quarters is just about to open in los angeles this coming friday and is already playing in new york(!). i have been waiting to see paris je t'aime (paris, i love you) since i heard of its inception about a year and a half ago. last year while at the cannes film festival, i was hoping to get a ticket to one of screenings since the film was part of the 'un certain regard' selection (running parallel to the official competition). unfortunately, my attempts were unsuccessful.
headed by french director olivier assayes, the film is a compilation of 18 shorts each set in a different part of the city and individually directed by a prestigious international slew of filmmakers. the cast is impressive as well, including some of my favorite actors such as willem dafoe, gena rowlands, ben gazzara, juliette binoche, and steve buscemi.
»Paris Je T'aime see it starting this friday at laemmle's sunset 5 theater.
