| Overview: | Stories of love from the heart of the city.
In Paris, love is everywhere. In its bars and cafes. Under the Eiffel Tower. Even in the Metro that runs under its streets. In Paris, je t'aime, prepare to see the city in a way you've never before imagined. It is Paris as seen through the eyes of some of the world's most acclaimed filmmakers, including the Coen Brothers, Gus Van Sant, Isabelle Coixet, Walter Salles, Alexander Payne and Sylvain Chomet.
Each director was invited to tell a story set in one of the city's neighbourhoods. The result is a kaleidoscope of stories about joy, separation, unexpected strange encounters and most of all, about love.
Paris has a rich cinematographic history but, rather than looking back, the aim of everyone involved was to show the city as it is today, to get away from the "picture postcard" idea of Paris and reveal aspects of the capital as never seen on the big screen. It portrays a diverse mix of social classes, generations, cultures and atmospheres.
