Review by JaM1009

"Paris is in Harlem" by Christina Kallas is an insightful and penetrating look at the Manhattan neighborhood in a sort of 'slice of life' style. The story follows a number of characters and weaves together various threads into a tapestry expressing cultural and political realities in a masterful way. Kallas allows us to observe rather than being didactic.

The performances, writing and direction are firing on all cylinders - creating an authentic and engaging experience. I was entertained, moved, and inspired.

It is a form of cinema rarely seen anymore. I really hope this is a sign of a renaissance in independent movies.
