There are very few movies that give us the warm 'n fuzzies like Paris, je t'aime.
The 2007 film weaved together a variety of short films from legendary writers and
directors to produce a love letter to Paris. And now from the makers of Paris, je
t'aime comes "New York, I Love You" an eclectic anthology of short films that
explore love in the big apple - but not in that cheesy Sex And The City way. Eleven
international Directors craft eleven unrelated and wildly divergent short films with
only two prerequisites. It must take place in New York City and it must deal with
love. The film also marks the Directorial debut of Natalie Portman who also starred
in Paris, je t'aime so you know she loves love as much as we love her. And we love
her a lot, a whole lot (we apologize if that level of enthusiasm creeps anyone out).
To paraphrase Indiana Jones "New York! Why'd it have to be New York?" Why
couldn't it be "Boston, I Love You"? Why can't it be my city getting a similar
treatment? Bostononians know something about the nature of love.
The all-star cast includes Natalie Portman, Orlando Bloom, Christina Ricci, Bradley
Cooper, Hayden Christensen, Andy Garcia, Rachel Bilson, Maggie Q, Ethan Hawke,
James Caan, Olivia Thirlby, Julie Christie, John Hurt, Kevin Bacon, Shia LaBeouf,
Chris Cooper, Robin Wright Penn, Eli Wallach, Shu Qi and Blake Lively.
In New York, I Love You's predecessor those conditions birthed tales of unrequited
love, puppy love, old love, love lost, lust, love of place and love at first sight played
out across the picturesque arrondissements of Paris. Fortunately love is a universal
language (or something?) so though the location has changed between films the
sentiments will largely remain the same.
We're especially looking forward to Natalie Portman's directorial debut, as well as
the segment starring Shia LaBeouf and Julie Christie, which written by the late
Anthony Minghella and directed by Shekhar Kapur.
