Paris, Je T'aime (DVD)

A collection of vignettes from twenty acclaimed filmmakers are woven together to form a portrait of love on the streets of Paris. Aided by an outstanding roll call of acting talent, each director has been given five minutes of screen time, each with a different cast and crew for their segment, to represent the twenty arrondissements, or districts, that make up the city. The end result, combining the individual styles of the directors with the diverse atmospheres, cultures and lifestyles of these districts, not only reflects the main theme of love, but also presents a unique portrait of the city of dreams, one rarely seen in mainstream cinema. Directors featured include the Coen Brothers, Gus Van Sant, Wes Craven, Walter Sallas, and Gurinder Chadha.
