Maybe it was the Metro?

What might be encouraging for someone sending their daughter to Paris is the scene with Natlaie Portman and the blind French lad she becomes involved with. As well, the first story, of the Muslim girl and the French boy. Both of those, I think, showed that Paris, like your home town, whatever it is, is a place of universal stories as old as storytelling.

Juliette Binoche as the mother who lost her little son is, again, a universally understood character.

Something to know when considering the 20 little stories of this film is that the mandate was to make a film exactly 5 minutes in length, about love, set in a specific arrondisement.

As a footnote, I have to admit that when I moved from Nebraska to New York, my own mother was pretty worried. I recall her saying, "I hope you won't have to be out much at night." As I was hoping to become a theater actor, I could only say, "Mom, with any luck at all I will be out at night!"

just watched this movie on pay per view. at first i wasn't sure if i liked it, but by the end i thought it was absolutely charming

The Place des Victoires segment with Juliette Binoche is so sad - I still think about it quite a bit and occasionally it comes to mind unbidden.

My husband and I have seen it twice and loved it. Such a diverse view of the city and such incredible stories.
