"Paris, Je T'aime" is an uneven, but charming collection of cinematic vignettes that are fun to watch but never really amount to a whole that is greater than its parts. However, I don't think that's the point. It's an enticing homage to a city where in its sprawling urbanscape, love is omnipotent. The Olivier Assayas (starring a hazy but stunning Maggie Gyllenhaal), Alexander Payne, and Gus Van Sant segments stand out most, but I can't get the Tom Tykwer piece out of my head. The issue of time that has become a Tykwer preoccupation adds a dash of surprise and romance to the brief seven or so minutes we get to watch a couple meet, fall in love, and everything else. Enjoy.
