Five minutes

Paris je t'aime is a perfect little movie - vignettes from different areas of the city, each focussing on love. Silly love, true love, interesting love, sad love, vampire love. It's fascinating how much can be conveyed about characters, emotions and Paris in five minutes. Perhaps it's enough to just catch a glimpse of people's lives, to be allowed in for a few brief minutes and take what we can away from it. If you only have five minutes, every second matters.

I LOVED this movie, apart from Vampire Frodo. Which segment/s did you like best?

Liz said...

Yeah, Vampire Frodo was a little odd. I think I liked the opening sequence, with the woman who faints, and the sequence with the blind man best. But I felt scarily like the woman in the last sequence, which made me sad.

Which was the last one again? Saw it a while ago so can't remember the exact sequence anymore. Was it the American woman who goes to Paris on her own?

That's the one.
