Paris (7/10)

We sometimes go through our lives thinking our problems are the most important thing in the world. The final scene shows a character driving to the hospital, their future uncertain. This person looks out at the people the car passes and wishes life could be as simple as theirs. The people said character passes do not live simple lives. We have just spent past 2 hours living the experiences of many people as they moved through love, heartbreak, pain and happiness. it's easy to look out at people and think we are struggling, but we don't know what they are going through. "Paris" is a movie with several stories with people that don't have some secret connection. They may meet but it's just a part of their life. "Paris's" theme is quite good, but not all the storiesare interesting. Romain Duris and Melaine Laurent stories are the best. Duris plays a a dancer who's heart is failing and spends his days watching Parisians live their lives from his window. Laurent is a student who teacher's attraction to her is quite interesting. However i found myself not caring for some stories (the market worker who's jealous when his ex- girlfriend begins to date again). Paris is a good film with good actors, but it's nothing extraordinary.

7/10
Recommendation: If your looking for the multiple story arch or a decent french movie then here it is. I'd never tell you not to watch this movie, but there's no need to rush out to see it.
