I was excited to see this move over the weekend because I have been wanting to see it for a while. It is a film that is made up of 18 short vignettes, each a love story, and each directed by a different director. If you have ADD this is the perfect movie for you. The stories range from being sweet and lighthearted, to absolutely heartbreaking. There is even a story involving a vampire which is always a plus for the closet goth in me. Although it is set in Paris, not all the stories are in French, there are a few in English as well. There are a lot of familiar faces in this movie, Elijah Wood, Natalie Portman, Nick Nolte, Bob Hoskins, Gena Rowlands, Steve Buscemi, Willem Dafoe, and Maggie Gylenhaal to name a few. It’s difficult to write and rate a movie like this, but I will say I enjoyed it a lot. The stories each depict a different type of love, not all romantic, and all in different phases. I won’t go through each story individually because it would take too long. It’s also interesting to see Paris through the eyes of each director. Some completely played up that it was set in Paris, while others didn’t even acknowledge it. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone and I’m going to give this movie

Another reason to watch it: One of the vignettes is by the Coen Brothers (and it’s the one featuring Buscemi).
