There is a part of me that wants to say that this is my favorite film. Then I realize that by saying that I instantly become classified as someone who thinks they know a lot about films because they’ve seen this one partly-obscure arty-esque romance film. But then I watch it again and cry and fall in love and laugh my ass off and realize that this is one of my favorite films. It’s a cycle that continually keeps me from saying it’s one of my favorites. Plus, it’s kind of like saying that a “greatest hits” album is your favorite album of all time. It can’t be. It takes too much from other albums to be considered an album of its own. But I digress. Paris Je T’aime is one of the greatest modern examples of how different filmmakers can tackle the same subject and have the outcome be so incredibly different from one another. It’s essentially 18 short films about different aspects of love set in Paris by 18 directors and 20195801938 actors. The reason why I think I know this film is my [one of my] favorite[s]? I never knew mimes could make me cry [for them.]
