Reviews

"Anthology films usually work better in theory than execution, but this feature parade of shorts is a blithe, worldly, and enchanting exception."

   - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

"Even if you don't like the stories, the filmmakers seem incapable of finding a corner of Paris that is not photogenic."

   - Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"The masterpiece of the bunch is the last, wonderful piece by Alexander Payne ("14eme Arrondissement")."

   - Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

"The best episodes have the emotional resonance of full-length features, and yet I didn't want them to be a moment longer than they are."

   - Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

"Love is here in all of its many guises, brought together with a touch of subtitled sophistication."

   - Alan Morrison, Empire
