Paris Je T'aime (2007)I was sold by the trailer, and I thought to myself, maybe I should give this film a go. I have always loved love story and better still, this is kind of a compilation of so many of them, in one go! Cool. Off I went into the theatre and realized that I was only one of the audiences among the three of us there...good, that's the way I like it, at times, a little peace and quiet while watching a movie. No fancy opening but as we move along, I started to experience the many facets of love, many different interpretations of this very primitive yet long journeyed and forever evolving emotion called LOVE. It could be explained, it could be filmed, it could be spoken, translated, digested, felt, touched, held, smelt, tasted, argued, 
confronted, comforted, yet, it could be none of them at the same time. It can be as tangible as it can be, yet so intangible at the same time. It's full of opposite attractions: explosion, conflicts, confusion, sophistication, incomprehensible. That's how intoxicated we are about love. Love can be fast and it can be slow, it can be beautiful, it can also be an ugly beast when love no longer exist in your own dictionary, as if those words just disappeared, without a trace, like a whisper into your tender soft ears. 
I love you, I love you no more...the very next second...like how a husband decided to love his wife again when he found out that she is sick, and broke the heart of another woman he was having an affair with...we dread the heartaches that it brings along, yet we can't live without it. Chris Doyle's one stood out, among all, but I loved most of them. How best to talk about love? I guess with a collage of this series of shorts about LOVE. It felt disjointed, as a film, after awhile, but it works as a documentation of how human perceive love to be and of course, PARIS, the place where it all happens, so they say...
