Paris

Taking a cue from the mid-Nineties tic of jigsaw plotting (Crash, Babel), Paris follows a half-dozen-plus Parisians who mostly operate in sets—siblings, exes, new lovers—and occasionally brush past one another on the street, at the fish market, and at the hospital. There are no great revelations or titillations in the characters' interconnectedness, but I don't think that was ever Klapisch's point. Actually, his point is fairly obvious—and facile—delivered more than once from the mouth of the dying Pierre (Duris), who scolds those with fully functional hearts about their petty complaints, and hammered home in the film's exit music, Wax Tailor's trip-hop remix, "Seize the Day." For all the inelegance of the method of the message's delivery, there is nothing inelegant about Klapisch's aesthetic vision—the man has a stylish eye—or the actors' performances. To a one, they're terrific. Reviewed by KJ.
