Paris (2008 Cédric Klapisch & scr)

Dancer Romain Duris (who I think is in the East of the city, or maybe Montmartre?) has a heart condition and may not live, his sister Juliette Binoche comes to stay but thinks her life is over. Historian Fabrice Luchini has a crisis of confidence and falls for student Melanie Laurent. Albert Dupontel has separated, meets Binoche; Gilles Lelouch romances Julie Ferrier. And so on. They variously intertwine. It really works, with the city as the glue. Great, eclectic music as well. Great acting all round.

Cinematography: Christophe Beaucarne. Music: Burke, Dury and Minck. Editing: Francine Sandberg.
