@Ollie1972 08/23/2016 Anna has just left Paul (Romain Duris) who, annihilated by the separation, moves back with his father Mirko (Guy Marchand) in Paris. His younger brother Jonathan (Louis Garrel), a casual student, still lives in his father's apartment and spends most of his time womanizing and fooling around. But what this apparent lightness conceals is a deep wound. Jonathan, in fact, has never been able to overcome the death of his beloved sister. Meanwhile Paul sinks into depression... Christophe Honoré has tried to create an homage to the French New Wave (Filming techniques included fragmented, discontinuous editing, and long takes. The combination of objective realism, subjective realism, and authorial commentary created a narrative ambiguity in the sense that questions that arise in a film are not answered in the end.) with "Dans Paris", but at the same time it becomes boringly ambitious and unexciting with an odd mix of humour and darkness which Honoré doesn´t manage to merge in a satisfying way. The moral that love, a little bit of help from your family and chicken soup can cure depression is maybe something hopeful, but yet too much of a sweet tale in my eyes. All the actors go all in and do a fine job, it´s just the story and the production that doesn´t satisfy me at least.

See more 04/13/2013 So boring I didn't even make it to the 20-min mark. Life's too short. See more 07/25/2012 Eu só conhecia Louis Garrel em seu papel no fraco e pretencioso 'Os Sonhadores'. 'Dans Paris' me fez ir com a cara dele, gostei da sua atuação espontânea, apesar de achar que o ator devia sair um pouco do esteriótipo 'parisiense blasé'. Esse filme retrata relacionamentos amorosos de forma confusa, pois é assim que relacionamentos são. Mostra como duas pessoas passam da felicidade à irritação, ao ponto de não se suportarem, e tem a clássica cena do casal que canta ao telefone. See more 03/01/2012 Hmmm, so and so... I like French films with its characteristic chatter but this was not my style... See more 02/04/2012 One star for Louis Garrel´s old school charm; half a star for the singing duet on the phone. The rest made me want to ask for my money back. See more Read all reviews
