2 Days in Paris (15) 91 mins"He knew Paris was for lovers. He just didn't think they were all hers."
2 Days in Paris follows a New York couple, French photographer Marion (Julie Delpy), and American interior designer Jack (Adam Goldberg), as they attempt to re-infuse their relationship with romance on a European vacation. Their week in Venice didn't work out as planned - the food didn't agree with Jack and when he was well enough to go out, he was so focused on capturing the trip with his digital camera that he forgot to experience it. They have higher hopes for their last two days in Paris. But the combination of Marion's offbeat and overbearing non-English-speaking parents and flirtatious ex-boyfriends, with Jack's continuing photography obsession and conviction that French condoms are too small, don't make for an auspicious beginning... Will they be able to salvage their relationship? Will they ever have sex again? Or will they merely manage to perfect the art of arguing?
"Is there nothing that Julie Delpy can't do? On the evidence of 2 Days in Paris, the answer is no. Written, edited, directed and co-produced by its star, who also wrote the music and cast her real-life parents as her onscreen ones, Julie Delpy's 2 Days in Paris brings to mind the dream sequence in The Play House where Buster Keaton plays everyone in the orchestra, on stage and in the audience at a theatre. Fortunately, Delpy's ego trip proves to be a happy, very funny excursion." Philip French
"Ms. Delpy’s and Mr. Goldberg’s performances are so assured and spontaneous that they don’t even seem to be acting; they’re living their roles in front of our eyes." New York Times
"Relaxed and stylish and charming" Peter Bradshaw
