The most ugly and hypocritical of director Klapisch's many works

If it weren't for Juliet Binoche, it would be like chewing wax. The film uses fragmented paragraphs to piece together several stories of ordinary people living under the roof of Paris. Unfortunately, none of them can really move me and resonate with me. The combination of the old professor of rejuvenation and the beautiful girl Melanie Laurent is too heavy for me to accept; the bitter bakery owner is clearly a model for menopausal women, and he wants to jump over when he sees her scene; the black man who smuggled to France from North Africa It's so nonsensical that I really rubbed out the starry dizziness with the model on the runway; the only thing left to see seems to be the cliche of the terminally ill male dancer and sister, and the four big and thick parts of the street. The most ugly and hypocritical of the director Kaplisch's many works completely lost the youthfulness and liveliness in "Spanish Hotel", "Love Cat Footprints", and "Russian Doll". Fortunately, there are many famous tourist attractions in Paris. The panoramic view of Paris at the beginning and the end is not to be missed. The soundtrack is still very popular. Wax Tailor's Seize the Day is still my favorite for many years.
