Eighteen love stories happening all around Paris. Eighteen delightful segements by eighteen different directors, starring an enourmous quantity of amazing actors. To tell the truth I enjoyed some segments more than others, but the movie itself it's brilliant. I had many judgements before watching it. First, I thought it was a French Love Actually or New York Stories, well not quite. In this movie the stories aren't connected at all and they are all extremely different, perhaps because they all were made by different directors. It might be considered a documental, if wanted, or it could even be a special TV show. Whatever it is, it's awesome. The segments I most enjoyed were Joel and Ethan Coen's, which was very, very weird because I don't usually like what they do because they are so American, but this time, it seems to me, they sort of "adapted" themselves to do a French movie, Isabel Coixet, who seemed like a femeale Jean Pierre Jeunet, I discovered a genious director, I really loved it, Gus Van Sant's, of course, the one with Juliette Binoche was my favourite above all, it was BRILLIANT, the whole concept, extremely well done in only ten minutes, how she must decide whether to let him go and move on with her life or not, stay with him and prive him to go with the cowboy, Binoche is one of my favourite actresses and she can stand out in only ten minutes on screen. The one with Natalie Portman was incredible as well, oh so many details and stupid stuff I enjoyed and would like to share, but they are TOO MANY! But, for example, I didn't like the one with the mimes, I found it so amateur. I would have loved if some directors I love would have also been included, such as: Jean Pierre Jeunet, Woody Allen, Sam Mendes, Ridley Scott, Roman Polanski, Tim Burton, Quentin Tarantino, Sofia Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola, Joe Wright, Yann Samuell, Jean Luc Godart, Lasse Hallström, etc, but this movie is great just as it it. Anyway, this movie must not be missed!
