Reviews for Dans Paris
Top CriticThe setting might be Paris, but the emotional heart is scattered in this highly pretentious muddle of relationships, timeframes and essay on sadness,"
08/04/07
Top CriticIt shouldn't work, but it does, as a vibrant, modern re-imagining of the New Wave aesthetic, at once mopey, sweet, playful and madly in love with Americana and cinema itself.

will induce a shortage in precious vacation days, stirring up visions of oneself mimicking the carefree Jonathan, gallivanting about Paris without a care in the world

If watching mopey naked French people is your idea of a date night, this is your movie.
09/28/07
Almost overwhelmingly dark and downbeat, which nearly makes the whole thing unwatchable.
09/27/07
A lighthearted riff on heavy themes, Dans Paris is a knowing throwback to the playful, profound works of the early French New Wave.
09/21/07
Dans Paris is an odd, off-kilter drama that lurches along for a while -- the disconnected scenes seem almost to be bumping into each other at random -- until, in the final scenes, it all comes together.
09/13/07
If an admirable attempt at the iconoclastic, Dans Paris is too much film school for an afternoon. Lacks even the modest structure and resolution that most audiences will demand.
09/11/07
Moody, mannered and supremely irritating.
09/07/07
Top CriticThe personal disconnections and interpersonal bonds the film explores are timeless.

Top CriticDans Paris has a lot of whining about women, interrupted with impulsive trysts and bouts of dancing.
08/31/07
Top CriticThe situation is less interesting than Honoré's eclectic style...
08/31/07
Dans Paris is limned with human stumbling, snatches of temporary joy laced with existential disquiet and the desperation of souls at sea in a sterile universe but not to be denied grasps of pleasure.

By the time it's over, you feel as if you've taken a graduate course at UCLA film school.
08/15/07
Structurally, it is mostly windup with very little delivery.
08/15/07
There's something breathtaking about this melodically melancholic homage to the French New Wave and the City of Lights herself ... as modernly poignant as it is retro-seductive.

Christmas with the cracked.
