    Really good!
    Wow... really a hidden gem, this film.... I bumped into it by accident, here in 2023... while the film is from 2009. Eric Debets carries the film with his subtle sensitive acting... but I have to say that the majority of the other roles are excellent also... Michael Arrington and Diarra Kilpatrick are hitting a homerun.... we get to see Hollywood for how it is. Not a glamorous well lit, beautifully filtered town.... but the concrete, palm tree-ed, car filled town it really is.... but with a focus on the people who inhabit this town full of actors and other poor people hoping to get a shot in this hard world of industrial cinema. Friends are important, human relations are important.... but just as important is the city in which these human connections exist... Hollywood is made out of cheap concrete, polluting cars, lots of underpaid people looking for better lives. Paris in this sense has more to offer. The main character Jerôme has a small life also in Paris, with a tiny apartment, but the city itself is more breathable, it is walkable, and more human. I really loved this film. Again, Eric Debets really takes you with him with his subtle, calm, sensitive acting. He would have been very good also in silent movies. A good actor knows how to express emotions without words, how to be a mime artist really. With an even bigger budget this could have become a more mainstream film, like you had the Australian film 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' from 1994, made 15 years prior to Hollywood, je t'aime. They should have made a second part: Paris je t'aime where Norma and and Kaleesha would have visited Paris, and live in it like forever? The actors were perfectly cast: Norma, Kaleesha and Jerôme felt real. I'm missing them already :-D. Lovely film ...
