Sylvain ChometBesprekingen

C+ (Okay).

18 short films about love in Paris. A few are good, one or two are bad, most are just filling time in a very Film Student Exercise way. It's kind of impressive that any manage to be good, with only a few minutes to work with.

Eighteen short films about love of various kinds in Paris (and by extension, love for the city itself). Some are much quirkier than others but which you prefer is likely to be a matter of personal taste. Some are quite thort-provoking and none are juist tourist stauff. The shortness of the films (max 10 minutes, some less) keeps the pace up and even if you don't care for some segments, it's never boring.

Camp and cool. I first saw this while I was staying with Beth and Jeremy in their Mt. Baker cabin.

Se até aos anos 50 o "music hall" tinha um enorme peso no mundo do espectáculo, a partir dos finais dessa década, especialmente com a aparição do rock e das super estrelas da música, o interesse do público começa a mudar de direcção. E é assim que o nosso mágico percebe que a sua actividade como ilusionista está em perigo e que, se nada fizer contra isso, cairá na miséria como tantos outros artistas de renome. Por esse motivo abandona os grandes salões de Paris e segue o seu rumo em direcção à Escócia onde encontra Alice, uma rapariga muito especial que mudará toda a sua forma de viver.
Um filme de animação realizado por Sylvain Chomet ("Belleville Rendez-Vous" nomeado para Óscar em 2004) a partir de um argumento original de Jacques Tati, escrito em 1956 em forma de uma carta a Helga Marie-Jeanne Schiel, sua filha bastarda. PÚBLICO

A French stage magician tries to find work in Scotland.

I really wanted to love this movie. It's quiet and innocent, with a simple but strong story, likable characters, great visuals and occasional bursts of hilarity - all things I love. But the ending's just too damn sad for me to get behind.

Rich originality and textures, delightful surprises, hilarious characters, old ladies subsisting entirely on frogs assassinated with hand grenades. Lord, it's fun!

Nominated for a couple of Oscars. This was a little too trippy for me.
