Paris, Je T'Aime - Blu-ray Forum

assydingo · 01-07-2009, 09:55 PM

Thoughts?

As far as pq goes it varies from short to short... never bad but some do look much better than others.

I liked the movie. However I didn't agree with some of the choices. The stories about parenthood, while perhaps stories of love, feel out of place. And the vampire thing is just random... even I it's great. Those should be bonuses and not part of the actual film.

Paris is a city of love, every story is about love, how are they out of place at all??

With that said I loved this film, picked up the BD last week and it was significantly better than the SD DVD which I rented when it was released.

I thought Paris, Je T'Aime was good but I doubt I will watch it more than one time. The BD PQ/SQ were pretty good too (4/5).

Variable · 01-07-2009, 11:31 PM

I rented it some time ago and liked it well enough. may pick it up some time down the road.

thecroshow · 01-07-2009, 11:32 PM

PQ i would give it anywhere between 3.0-3.5 definitely not a "show off ur blu ray player" kinda film

The Blu-ray Disc is lacking compared to other independent films on BD.

The DVD had English subtitles for the French language only and English subtitles captioned for the deaf & hard of hearing.

The BD only has English subtitles captioned for the deaf & hard of hearing. Needless to say the Coen Brothers' segment gets completely ruined by this.

Also, if you don't have Dolby TrueHD equipment, the back up Dolby Digital track is 448kbs only.

A lot of the stories made me feel like I was missing a little something.

I love how it ended but felt her french narration was hard to listen to. Grating for some reason.

thecroshow. they just were for me. if they were going to make it mostly romance it should have been just that. if it was going to be all types of love it should have had more non-romantic.

I went back to have a look and I agree with your assessment. It's a 3.0 star movie (PQ wise).

I just couldn't believe how moved I was by such short films! They definitely tugged at my heart strings, I'm a sucker like that haha

I thought it was a great balance of mixing up the happy, sad, neutral love stories. I thought it was more than just love, it was a film about inspiration, hope, happiness, sadness, new beginnings, closures...i'm sorry you feel that way.

I personally loved the film because of the multiple collaborations of directors and talent in this film. Definitely showing the various different stories of "love" in Paris, I definitely enjoyed the film.

Of course, some of segments are hit and miss but definitely enjoyable. If you enjoy this film, check out the HK film "Heroes in Love" which takes four different directors with four longer stories of different types of love in HK, a wild film!

Well it's not like I didn't like it.

The benefit of this kind of movie is every time you watch it you'd notice new things. It could grow on me the more I see it.

kndy. Thanks for the recommendation =]. Do you know if that has a blu-ray release date?

Hehe...I wish I can tell you that there is one but past Asian films coming out on Blu-ray here in the US (or even in Asia) is going at a snail's pace. Unfortunately, it'll probably be one of those artsy films that will stay on DVD for now.

But you'll definitely see new things each time you watch. Some stories that you will enjoy and some that you just figured..."how boring" or "sucks". In fact, there were actually much more content from other directors that did not make it into the finalized cut.

I can't even find it on Netflix =/. Grr!

That's upsetting to know and not have on the blu-ray... are the other videos online somewhere? I liked most of the clips and I wouldn't say any sucked. There was ones where I was unclear on. Especially the Japanese salon clip.

Galley · 10-22-2012, 05:38 PM

I picked this up today at Target for $5.00.

Leonidas King · 10-22-2012, 07:27 PM

What was it that was wrong with the Blu-ray that I don't recall now?

Subtitles not the proper ones or something or was that for Let The Right One In? Someone please refresh my memory.

Al_The_Strange · 10-22-2012, 07:33 PM

I've read that this release has subtitles that are huge and take up a chunk of the actual image, rather than appearing on the black bars. It's also the hard-for-hearing subtitles, so it translates sound effects and other stuff as well.

I thought the movie had some nice shorts, and I've come close to buying it before. I stopped short purely because of this issue. As it is, I'll just stick with Tokyo!

OHHHHH ok I remember now! That was it. Thanks

I knew it had to do with the subtitles. At least Magnet fixed "Let The Right One In" subs.

Clark Kent · 10-22-2012, 09:54 PM

Instead of regular English subtitles, this BD only has the English SDH subtitles. A significant problem on a foreign movie in a different language.

I saw this for 4.50 at Target today and did a blind buy.
