Is this already mainstream cinema?
2 Days in Paris – a wonderful movie on sex, food and relationships.? And this although it beautifully covers the cliché of both the French & American’s inability to communicate in any other language then their own, the cliché of the French(wo)men always talking about sex & food, racist tendencies in a multicultural Paris (~ taxi driver scenes), the freedom of soixante-huitards and all of this embedded into never-ending neurotic conversations between all actors.
If you already liked Before Sunrise & Before Sunset, you’ll definitely like this one.
Here’s the final scene:
I especially liked it being in both French & English, even the German version is in German and a subtitled French (that’s btw one thing I will never understand about Germany: dubbed movies. They usually dub all of them – which is also why most Germans have such a bad pronounciation of English words. If you never get to hear the original version, there’s no real comparison possible…sigh).
Ahhh, I have been passing this movie on the racks…it is one of those I negotiate whether to watch or pass but I keep passing it on anyway, any good?
