Renowned filmmaking brothers Joel and
Ethan Coen re-team with frequent collaborator
Steve Buscemi for this comedic entry in the anthology film Paris, Je T'Aime. The episode, which unfolds in the Paris Metro, observes the calamities that befall a hapless American loser (Buscemi). This tourist makes the pivotal mistake of ignoring his cultural guidebook by looking directly into the eyes of a jealous French boyfriend - and lives to regret it. Tuileries also stars Julie Bataille and Axel Kiener. Other contributors to the omnibus film include
Alexander Payne,
Wes Craven, and
Gus Van Sant. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
