TOM TYKWER: PARIS JE T'AIME, FAUBOURG SANT-DENIS
'True'
This film is about a French blind boy who meets an American girl (who wishes to become an actress in Paris). He hears her from outside her window, and takes her to her audition because she is late. They form a relationship. The opening of the film is her phoning him, he thinks that she's dumping him and there begins a montage of their relationship so far. At the end of the phone call he realises she isn't breaking up with him, it's as if he has been given a new start.
The film really is touching, as a group we particularly liked the montage, the speed of it and the repetition. The way the start of close, and drift further apart. Both physically and emotionally. We loved how the speed captured the feeling of being in a relationship, the way time flies but moves slowly simultaneously. The story is romantic but in a quirky way. The confusion is an important factor, something Chalayan has addressed in many of his collections.
