I saw my fifth movie at Film Streams last night with ML, Two Days in Paris. Since I’d seen the preview 4 times already, I was pretty sure I’d like it, and I did. J The movie was about Jack and Marion, one American and the other French, who live in New York but had traveled to Venice for a vacation. They stop in Paris to visit Marion’s family and this two-day visit is the backdrop of the movie. While plenty of mishaps take place, they only serve to highlight the real theme of the movie – how well you know your lover (or how well you can ever know someone, really). I loved this movie – the way the couple interacted reminded me so much of the DH and me…which may be unfortunate since the couple was arguing quite a bit of the time… It was funny and heartbreaking at the same time – the way love should be, I suppose. I give it 4 stars. J
Two films coming up that I can’t wait to see: The Great World of Sound, and About a Son – based on interviews with Kurt Cobain. Pass the popcorn, please…
