2 Days in Paris (dir. Julie Delpy)

Independent turkey of the year. One film that actually succeeded in making me angry. True it had it's funny moments, but even Hollywood chick-flick blockbusters have their moments, they are just not worth talking about. Nor would this be if it wasn't for Julie Delpy, from whom I honestly expected much more. A good dialogue for a starter, better cinematography and much better set design. This movie left me with a throbbing headache. I wished she shut up 15min into the film, 30min into the film I still hoped it would turn on it's head and surprise me, an hour into the film my ass started to hurt from sitting, I was exhausted from watching and really wished I'd rather have gone to see a therapist. It's a self centered, feel-sorry-for-me-I'm-french-and-people-have-preconceptions-about-me bullocks. It tries way too hard, the criticism is poor and the cop-outs are way too obvious. I didn't want to write anything about it, when I saw it, it would've sounded much worse and I still don't want this blog to become an angry rant. But it's Christmas and something has to be said.
