Aro Recommended Paris, Je T'aime

 
 

Aroview: A prestige line-up of actors and filmmakers converge in this grand anthology of love letters to the city of romance. With each vignette clocking in at around 8 minutes, this celluloid tapestry offers something for almost every mood and palate.

Disseminated across Paris’ districts and landmarks, highlights include Nobuhiro Suwa’s distilled meditation on grief, with Juliette Binoche; a typically skewered take on tourism from the Coen Brothers; and Alexander Payne’s fitting finale, about a middle-aged American woman recounting her lonely Paris sojourn.

Less successful, but still distinguished entries from directors Olivier Assayas (about an actress, Maggie Gyllenhaal, working on a film shoot), Alfonso Cuaron (an extended tracking shot with Nick Nolte), Christopher Doyle (taking his cue from Wong Kar-wai), Tom Tykwer (a frantic long-term relationship crammed into a handful of minutes) and Sylvain Chomet (the eccentric adventures of a mime) round out the best bits.
