New York, I Love You
October 16, 2009 | 2 Comments
This is a followup to the 2006 movie Paris je t’aime, a collection of short stories set in Paris by different directors. This time New York City is the stage, with 11 different directors contributing. So each segment is around 10 minutes or less.

New York, I Love You
Directors include Mira Nair, Brett Ratner, Allen Hughes, and Natalie Portman.
Unlike Paris je t’aime, there’s more of an effort to tie the stories together, with characters from one segment making appearance in another. So the effect is like one of those Crash gumbos. Whether this was necessary is debatable; if there are 8 million stories in the naked city, 11 of them don’t really need to intersect.
Many of the stories seem to involve alienated people meeting cute; outside a restaurant for a smoke break, or intersecting in unusual jobs, leading to a possible romantic or sexual encounter.
It’s kind of like making a meal of appetizers. But, if one story isn’t to your taste, another will be coming along in a few minutes.
