Paris est à nous

Sorry but... just no. If you'd like to see this movie, acted out live in front of you, read on. Go to your nearest college town. Find the hipster coffee shop that hosts open mic nights. Wait for the hipster girl that always gets up to read/act out her latest poem. There you go.. You've just watched a live version of this movie.

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.

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.

For me this movie just didn't work. A whole bunch of narration and random scenes of this ice cold main character talking to her boyfriend or her friend. Don't get me wrong, I love movies like this one that don't really make sense and get you into a trance like expierence, but this one was just not for me. I have no idea what this movie was building up to and I have no idea what all of it meant. There was a lot going on and nothing was explained, wich worked in Mulholland Drive for example, but not here. There was also a LOT of narration (a lot more than actual dialogue) and random shots of surroundings. Just a whole bunch of nothing...

In my opinion this movie is just not as good as it maybe could have been.

Maybe the storyline isn't so strong and it doen't have great developmant,but this movie is not about that. The aesthetics of the film was incredible. The movement of the camera, the scenes' sequence, the music and the voice-overs were brilliant. Also it touches some concept like the first love, who to deal with adulthood, etc with a very special way, that make you think about that.

For me, if you like that in a film, it worth watching.
