2 Days in Paris

If you have (which hopefully you have) experienced the joyous cinematic experience of Richard Linklater's Before Sunset and Before Sunrise starring one July Delpy, then you cannot but feel that her writing/directorial/starring effort is somewhat an imitation of this. Perhaps it is the relationship that she found herself in at some point between the two meetings. There is also a slight feel of Woody Allen through Adam Goldberg's overly analytical character as Delpy's boyfriend. An enjoyable element of the film is knowing that Delpy dragged her own parents into the film to play, who else, her parents. Overall it is an interesting study of a relationship as cracks begin to surface in a surreal 2 days in Paris.
