Watched New York I love you yesterday night and was really disappointed. We were hoping that it would have a distinctive theme like Paris J'taime, each zone/district will carry a unique love story for 10 minutes, short and sweet. But New York I love you is just a mess with forgetable plot. There were only 2 stories that woke me up; one
is about an old actress thinking about her lover in the hotel and the other is about an old bickering but loving couple with mobility problems. Old actors/actresses shined effortlessly with their acting in this film and I mean really old actors/actresses in their 60s or 70s.
And the characteristics of each New York district was not flashed out during the making of the movie. The audience watched it without knowing which part of New York the story was set in. In Paris J'taime, Marais is a district (populated by PLUs)with lots of art galleries, and one story is set in an art workshop in that district where two young male persons first encountered each other - that story brought out the characteristics of the place and the people there quite clearly.
True to its reputation, Paris is still the place for romance.
