Quirky look at Paris

The concept is intriguing, take six directors and let each of them make a short film set in a Paris neigbourhood. The result is a quirky melange of stories that cover the gamut of emotions from funny and bittersweet to sad and tragic. There's the story of an American student who falls for an impostor, a young boy who can't stand the noise made by his quarreling parents, a dissatisfied housewife who doesn't really want what she thinks she wants and more. The directors also bring their varied styles to the table. Somehow, despite the enormous potential for the stories and styles being jarring, the end result gels very well resulting in a great cinematic experience.
