2 Days in Paris (2007)

April 9th, 2008

paris.jpg Julie Delpy, star of Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, directs a movie that blurs the line between character and person.

If you find yourself asking, “Where’s Ethan Hawke?” you’ve fallen into the trap.

Delpy plays a young French woman who has eccentric parents who live upstairs, and an American boyfriend. The boyfriend doesn’t speak French and wasn’t expecting Delpy’s character to have so many ex-lovers.

As in the Linklater films, the characters walk around and talk and talk and talk and talk. They are very honest, very charming, and very real.

I liked this movie a lot.

    I loved that film, those are her real parents, and her real cat in the film, but I’m sure you knew that.

    Great film !

    We thought Delpy’s effort is quite different from Linklater’s. We like them both.

    Her own cat! I didn’t know that. Thanks for filling me in.
