Thanks Woody!!

How wonderful to be transported so pleasantly to another place and time, only to be reminded that our own moments also contain the seeds of magic. This fundamental irony is but one of several grinning truths we encounter during our stroll through Paris. Another plays out between Gil, the unpretentious protagonist tormented by contempt for his successful career as a hack screenwriter, and Paul the culturally encyclopedic pedant whose smug self-assurance is devoid of the inner conflict requisite to appreciate great artists and their work. Clever, lovely, and fun.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Eyes of the Beholder

This is one of those movies that I imagine will appeal strongly to a certain demographic. The viewer who values history and has a taste for cinematic efforts that deal in its less popularized stories will likely appreciate this lovely work. If you need frantic action or a rock soundtrack, this film probably won't do much for you. Personally, I adore these rare cinematic flowers that manage to push themselves up through the cracks in the parking lot landscape of contemporary life.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Commentary on our times

A very well-balanced movie that illuminates a dark aspect of our times while managing to provide just the right amount of humor to make its grim theme bearable. The viewer is not insulted with easy answers and may leave the theater with the feeling of having experienced a modern parable rather than a sermon.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
