Paris est à nous

It's the moment in a love relationship that contains all the rest. It's a bud of pure potential now blossoming into story.

And ultimately, the story that unfolds will be a tragedy--as all love stories are.

Anna meets Greg, Anna loses Greg. Anna grieves and makes her peace. All in a film of visual power and knowing symbolism.

At this point it's tempting to say 'enjoy.' But this is not the cinematic neighbourhood where the word applies, quite. I have no idea whether or not you will 'enjoy' this film. It's unlikely that its creator cares. You can count, though, on being moved.

The movie left me questioning if the later half of the storyline really happened or not. That is quite rare for me of a 21st century movie. This was no movie for a Marvel fan or a once-a-year-cinema type of person. This was a movie for the lover of cinematography and art. Becuase it really doesn't have an exciting storyline. It is all about how it makes you feel. It not only tells a love story, but let's us get in the minds of both protagonists; getting us to attach to them even more. Conclusion: If you don't like movies like Amelie, Totoro, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind; you probably wouldn't like this one either. It is a movie that's not afraid of being controversial and I believe that's what makes it a "hidden gem". I only recommend these types of movies to friends that have good taste in art-movies and has the cinema culture necessary to compare it to similar titles.

Haven't seen a film like this since the early 90s - hand held camera, loose narrative style; all show, no tell. I like films that provoke the viewer to actively engage with the storytelling. Really interesting, though not for everyone. As a metaphor for trauma, coping with trauma and grief and the senselessness of life and death, it is provocative and thought-provoking.

The script is strong. The "pain" of being human in a world that one cannot change the circumstances, being your "self"in a relationship. You can find simple but strong moments about life. The character questions her self being feom childhood. A film about rethinking about the life. I also think that its also a strong film in visual ways and sound.

I really connected with the narration. Who am I? Who do I present myself to be? Are you putting on a face? Do you become that face? How do I want to live? What is worth it? And the gaps and connections in a love relationship. How deep did you feel that love connection, are you still feeling it? Does it still exist?

I could have done without so much camera rotation effects.
