Paris Is Us (2019)
10/10
Not a romantic film. This is deep, dark, poetic and explores the psyche
19 January 2020
I was looking for a movie about Paris, and by sheer luck Netflix gave me this. It was more than I had asked for and now it's one of my favorites. It's the kind of film that you can watch many times over and you leave with something new each time.

The poster, and the first few scenes lead you to think it's a love story. It is not. Soon enough it descends into deep existentialism and an exploration of the subconscious.

I love the camera work in this, the persepective is intimate as if I was watching a Terrence Malick film though it also has the surrealism of a Lynch film or Eternal Sunshine.

The script is superbly written, the dialogues are raw and the monologues poetic.

I don't understand why this film has such a low rating here or why I never heard about if before. Perhaps some disappointed viewers who wanted a romantic drama.
