Title: Lazy and incoherent mess
Review: What a disappointment. The world's most distinguished city represented in 18 vignettes that lack even the semblance of a script. Steve Buscemi could've been assaulted on the DC Metro for all the 'effort" that the Coen Brothers put into writing this vignette for the Paris Metro. Bob Hoskins and Ben Gazzara were scripted and acted like zombie extras from "Shaun of the Dead". Why precisely was Gerard Depardieu talking about crabs on a dinner menu when Ben Gazzara was just having a drink? NO continuity QC?An incoherent, disgraceful mess - worse than Altman's pretentious and equally lazy "Pret a Porter". Does nothing to eulogize Paris - the acting and the sense of Paris in "Ratatouille" were far superior - as, in fact, was Remy's acting. Perhaps actors and directors are lulled into a sense that with Paris as a background, there's no need to practice their trade. A waste of time and money.
