"A Disappointing 2 Days in Paris"
11 August 2007
I waited for months for 2 DAYS IN Paris 2 open in Los Angeles and the reviews were "glowing" as Ms. Delpy has given an audience such a lovely character in her previous films. However, today, for me, something was missing from the magic of BEFORE SUNSET/BEFORE SUNRISE and yes, she has journeyed on to other pastures, but in 2 DAYS IN Paris, outside of the tremendous dialog and watching her real parents give us characters that really made the film alive, the primary characters of Marion and Jack were not ones that I cared about, liked, nor wanted to see together in either Paris or New York. Moreover, the continuous sexual innuendos and concentration on sex became really boring and you wanted more from their relationship. Sure this is 2007, but still, Ms. Delpy is so much more talented in producing a character with individuality, humor and substance than shown here in 2 DAYS IN Paris. Sorry, Julie, "love you, love your films", but just not this one.
