This is a 2006 French film directed by 18 directors of different nationalities, e.g. the Coen brothers: Isabelle Cossette, Wes Craven, Alfonso Cuarón, Christopher Doyle, Walter Salles and Gus Van Sant.

It consists of eighteen short films that pay homage to an area of the city of Paris.

These short love stories bear each director's personal stamp and vision of eroticism, starring Natalie Portman, Elijah Wood, Nick Nolte, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, and featuring famous actors and actresses such as Bob Hoskins, Gérard Depardieu and Steve Buscemi.

Its American version, "New York, I Love You", was released in 2009 to a poor reception.

A minimalist way to reflect on the struggle of the bright side of love as well as its dark side. In Freud's words the struggle of Eros and Thanatos:

Paris, Je T'aime (Paris, I love you) film REVIEW 🗼🥐 ☕

A 2006 film it remains an exquisite and varied look at men and women struggling with love, meaning, and loss in Paris. Welcome to the city of love with its charms and disappointments, multidimensional, eclectic,. Directed by 20 of the world's leading filmmakers (Gus Van Sant, Gurinder Chadha, Wes Craven, Isabel Coixet, Walter Salles, Alexander Payne, Olivier Assayas, Tom Tykwer, Alfonso Cuaron, Joel and Ethan Cohen, among others).

The film tried to bring together not only French authors, but rather to offer a vision of the city from an international point of view. The response of the professionals invited to participate in this collective project was enthusiastic. Between June and November 2005, and at the rate of two or three days of filming, the shorts that make up this urban geography of Parisian love were filmed.

In order not to give many more details, I simply have to say that it is one of the most beautiful films about the city of love. I leave you the trailer and I hope you are encouraged to see it and leave me your comments.
