Paris, je t'aime ★★ Paris, I Love You 2006 (R)

Eighteen—count ‘em—eighteen uneven vignettes by 20 international directors all set in various Parisian neighborhoods. Some are little slice of life tales while others are fantasies (vampires?). Some are about love and some about friendship and some are serious while some are light-hearted. All are so brief that if one doesn't strike your fancy, the next one may, especially given the variety of the cast. English and French with subtitles. 120m/C DVD .
