    "The producers of Tokyo!, three short films by two Frenchmen and a South Korean, aim to do for Japan’s metropolis what New York Stories did for the Big Apple or Paris Je T’Aime for the City of Lights. That the two Frenchmen are indie darling Michel Gondry and former film critic/Pola X director Leos Carax, and the South Korean Bong Joon-Ho, who made an international splash with The Host, would seem to lend these three very different takes on a single subject some serious cache. Unfortunately, only two directors rise to the occasion, leaving a gaping hole in an otherwise thoughtful trilogy. Not surprisingly, of the three directors it’s the warped Gondry, whose specialty is visualizing that fine (often non " [More]

    "Paris, Je t'aime is a great example of what I love about collections of short films. The 20 directors involved were given five minutes to tell a story about love in one of the city's neighborhoods. As a whole it is uneven, but the best parts greatly outshine the lesser stories. Among my favories are the Coen brothers' tale of cultureal mistakes in a Paris subway station and the introspective story of a middleaged woman who discovers herself in a park. Among the stories that I found skippale is the tale of Tobey Maguire as a tourist who falls in love with a vampire. " [More]

    "I was pleased to finally see Paris, je t'aime since it was briefly "forthcoming" on the South African Cinema Nouveau circuit last year and then never arrived. It was worth the wait. The diversity in themes and styles in this collaboration demonstrates that there is no one answer to the question "what is love?". However, the vast majority of the shorts are white and heterosexual, which is a unfortunate flaw in an otherwise varied palette. This variety also means that serious and not-so-serious shorts bump shoulders, but personally I found this refreshing both stylistically and philosophically. It certainly didn't stop me from laughing and crying all the way through the movie. I have no way of knowing if the film does Paris itself justice. I will have to get on a plane and do some research; purely in the interests of reviewing the movie again, of course. 4 stars " [More]

    "Clean (2004) is a movie by Olivier Assayas, director of as Paris, je t’aime (2006), takes us on a journey into the hard world of the music business and drugs. Clean stars Maggie Cheung in her award winning role as Emily Wang, girlfriend and heroin addict of a struggling rocker and fellow junkie, Lee Hauser (played by James Johnson). After breaking off a potential gig in Canada, both travel back to their hotel. They both argue about how she is blamed for Lee’s continuing failures and she ends up leaving for the night and gets high in an empty parking lot. The next morning when Emily returns, the police are in the room where Lee was found dead of a drug overdose. The police arrest her when she attempts to get into the room and discover a couple of bags of heroin in her purse. Emily is sentenced to six months in prison and when she is released, she is briefly reunited with Lee’s father Albrecht (played by Nick Nolte). Albrecht also takes care of Emily and Lee& ... " [More]

    "Beautiful film. There are 3 or 4 absolutely amazing shorts, and the rest are good. Only one was bad. This contains Alexander Payne's best film he has ever made. Coen Brothers & Wes Craven are also great, but Tom Tykwer's (Run Lola Run, Perfume) short starring Natalie Portman is absolutely amazing. Has " [More]
