French life films

Exquisite composition, beautiful photography, can not hide the fact that this is a French life film. It also means lengthy narratives, protracted structures, and scattered perspectives.
It can be seen that the director wants to outline the ukiyo-e of French society with a line-like technique. So everything is light, light, sad but not complaining narrated.
Ex-dancer waiting for heart transplant, taking care of his sister, sister's new boyfriend, new boyfriend's ex-girlfriend, ex-girlfriend's lover, sibling's neighbor - college girl, college girl's boyfriend and lover teacher, teacher's brother and many more. They live, fall in love, suffer, die, or wait for death, and sex, like color photos of French life, presented one by one.
I believe that the French must have a great sympathy for this film.
But! I am not French! ! ! So, I don't have any vibes! ! !
So, while I watched, I had to resist not pressing the fast-forward button.
This kind of film is suitable for watching when you are in love, or watching half of it and then watching it a year or two later. However, it is not worth watching a second time anyway.

    I love Paris the same way, much better than that Paris I love you.

    Camus said that to know a city is to know how its people live, how they love each other, and how they die.

Paris quotes

  • Élise: [in French] You're all alone here? What do you do all day?

    Pierre: [in French] Watch other people live. Wonder who they are, where they go? They become hereoes in my little stories.

  • Pierre: [discussing his nieces and nephew] We've gotta be honest and say I'm gonna croak.

    Élise: That's not certain.

    Pierre: Then it'll be a nice surprise, if it's not true.
