Last week I discovered another what I would rank as one of my favourite movies ever. We planned to catch Vantage Point but ended up watching this Foreign/Art movie, and we didn't regret at all. 2 Days In Paris is very close at heart for actress JULIE DELPY, as she wrote & directed the movie, and starred alongside both her real-life parents! For fans of Julie's previous movies Before Sunrise and its sequel Before Sunset (stars Julie and Ethan Hawke) like myself, this is a definitely must see for you.  

Plot is simple (as with most Foreign/Art movies), revolves around this couple of French photographer Marion (Julie) and American hubby Jack (Adam) making a stop for 2 days at Marion's hometown in Paris, after their holidays at Venice. The 2 days witness many witty, comical and thought-provoking conversations between the couple, questioning relationship issues like sex, fidelity & cultural differences. The movie is also full of hillarious moments as we see neurotic Jack's awkward encounters with Marion's overbearing parents (who speak virtually no English) and her set of mysterious ex-boyfriends (who suspiciously still want to get under Marion's skirt). You'll get to see various sceneries in Paris as well. Their short stop at Paris ends up testing their relationship, questioning both of them whether they are the right soul-mate for each other.

Love it! I was previously amazed with Before Sunrise, with similar approach, full of interesting conversations over a set of alluring sceneries at Vienna. JULIE DELPY definitely lived up to her reputation for yet another entertaining Foreign/Art movie this time.

It's a must see if:

• You simply loved Before Sunrise or its sequel Before Sunset
• You appreciate Foreign/Art movies with loads of provoking/witty conversations
• You like movies that explores relationship/marriage/fidelity issues
