In 1964 six of France’s most famous directors collaborated on a film about Paris. The result was Paris Vu Par. But who’s to say that only French directors can be inspired by their capital?
Paris, Je T’Aime sets out to showcase the universality of Paris by allowing 21 directors from around the world, including luminaries like Gus Van Sant, Alexander Payne, Walter Salles, Tom Tykwer, Christopher Doyle, the Coen brothers and Wes Craven, to construct their own short films telling a love story set somewhere in Paris.
The result is a warm, sad, spirited, melancholic, witty and occasionally subversive string of five minute movies depicting the worlds of Parisian neighbourhoods and taking you on an enchanting journey through the city of light.
