Rio I Love You (2014)

Absolutely another Paris Je T'Aime with its individual stories of varying tone, even down to another silly vampire episode!

Basil Hoffman and Emily Mortimer are married, Fernando Montenegro is Mrs Nobody, Harvey Keitel and Nadine Labaki (she directed) are in the sweetest episode 'O Milagre / The Miracle', involving a kid who's waiting to talk to Jesus. Ryan Kwanten is a mountain-climbing actor, John Turturro (wrote and directed) and Vanessa Paradis split up to a lovely French song, Tonico Pereira is the light-footed vampire. With a sensationally photographed hang-gliding episode over the statue of Christ the Redeemer.

Guillermo Arriaga wrote and directed the episode with a one-armed boxer, Fernando Mereilles the one with Vincent Cassel; plethora of international directors are from all over the shop.

It's good.
