After making “L’auberge Espagnole” (The Spanish Apartment) and “Les Poupees Russes” (Russian Dolls) French director Cedric Klapisch decided to stay close to home and plunge into the French capital in his newest work “Paris.” In France, “Paris” currently stands at 1.65 million entries in its fifth week of release. The combination of Klapisch’s name, the appealing title and the promise of French stars including Juliette Binoche, Romain Duris and Francois Cluzet will easily make this film a hit abroad as well. Parisian Pierre (Duris) is a dancer at the Moulin Rouge who has just learned he has a possibly fatal heart disease. His condition makes him look at all the people he meets in a new and different way. Imagining his death suddenly gives new meaning to his life, to other peoples’ lives, and to life of the whole city. Fruit and vegetable sellers, a woman who runs a bakery, a social worker, a dancer, an architect, a homeless person, a university professor, a model, an illegal immigrant from Cameroon. All these very different people come together in this city and in this film.
