Has anyone seen Paris Je t'aime at Cedar Lee?  I saw it last weekend and it was an amazing film!  I really recommend it--I think it's leaving soon since its frequency has been reduced to a matinee and 7:15pm showing.  From Mimes falling in love to your stereotypical chubby, white sneaker, fanny pack wearing, American tourist speaking with the worst American French accent EVER--who falls in love with Paris--At least one or 12 of the 16 or 18 clips will get to you in a good way!  You better check it out!

 

Too bad it wasn't Cleveland Je t'aime!   What a great way to showcase the city...  hint hint amateur film makers on UO :wink:

That is one of my favorite movies of all time ... It was so beautiful and so unexpected. I was particularly in love with the one about the American tourist lady you mentioned (it made me laugh, and then in the closing minutes, I actually got a little teary-eyed) and Gus Van Sant's gay guy hitting on the clueless American.

 

And I've thought THE EXACT same thing ... 18 short films ... shot in 18 different Cleveland neighborhoods ... all about falling in love with Cleveland. I love it! Let's do it!

I saw pieces of this in cannes '06.  I recommend.

Talk about no gaydar!

I'm up for helping out!  I know nothing about film but w/e.

 

Denver post lady rocks!

 

 

Yeah, I'm in the same boat ... I have no expertise in film, but that's alright ... we just need to organize 18 filmmakers. I think it would be an incredible promo for the Cleveland International Film Festival.
