2 Days In Paris (2007) 7/10

Starring : Julie Delpy, Adam Goldberg, Daniel Bruhl
Director : Julie Delpy
Running Time : 97 mins

In a last ditch attempt to rekindle their relationship, Marion (Delpy) and Jack (Goldberg) take a romantic trip around Europe. When they arrive in Paris, where Marion’s family live, things seem to get more relaxed in spite of her parents refusal to speak English. Sadly for Jack, it’s also the city where Marion’s myriad of ex-boyfriends live, and they all still seem interested in her.

This is a pretty slow moving film, which largely relies on the conversation between the two main characters to carry the plot. A lot more could have been done with this, but Delpy seems to want to concentrate on how increasingly frustrating life becomes for Jack as he is faced by her unwelcoming family and her intimate ex-boyfriends. Still, it is entertaining in parts, with the decline of their relationship played perfectly.
