two good movies

Two good movies i enjoyed (this is another post for the promise i made to share the good things i read or see here, esp. with my friends back home)

"2 days in paris", which i had talked to you before on one other post, actually before i saw it. the film was good, french-american funny. written, directed, and starred by Julie Delpy (the girl from before sunset and before sunrise). i read an interesting point later on in FLM - an independant film magazine - of her childhood, quoting her own words: "My parents started giving me an education in art and film early on ... Okay, so we didn't have a bathroom until i was eight (actually, public baths were not as bad as you would think) but they gave me so many other things. They sent me to music, dance, photography, painting and writing classes on top of regular school."

the other movie was "paris je t'aime", a collection of eighteen snippets from different great directors, a diverse collection of diverse experiences and life moments going on around paris. they make you laugh, cry, think, smile, cherish, envy, ... all in a tour of paris. it is a must see. not a usual movie, more a collage of kind of very short moving pictures, maybe you can call them kind of movie nanotales. i would enjoy seeing it one more time.

it seems that paris is everywhere. (for me this is more true since my translated book of the famous bookstore there - shakespeare and company - is getting closer and closer to publication, hopefully after ershad permission.) and i am making this promise to myself that paris will be an out of this world experience to me when i visit it.
hope you can find the movies and watch them.
