Consensus: Director Christophe Honore updates the pretensions and the charms of the French New Wave for Dans Paris, his poignant yet frustratingly dense film.
Theatrical Release:Aug 8, 2007 Limited

While his carefree sibling and doting father try in vain to cheer him up, a visit from his mother seems to be the only thing that brings him joy. When Paul is then left in the house to brood and talk to one of his brother's girlfriends, he begins to realize that while things haven't gone according to plan, one can always find something to live for. --© IFC Films [More]

Reviews for Dans Paris
The film is too wrapped up in some rather uninteresting bits of cleverness to bother making you believe in or care about the characters.
Dans Paris not only loses its charm but is devastatingly disappointing.
Dans Paris has a lot of whining about women, interrupted with impulsive trysts and bouts of dancing.
The film becomes overcrowded with its irreverent touches and eccentric interludes, which increasingly feel strained and awkward.
Clearly Honoré is talented, but only towards the end does the tale come together with conviction.
When the depressed Paul jumps from the bridge into the Seine, I was hoping he'd not swim ashore. There is not a character here that one could care about.
Almost overwhelmingly dark and downbeat, which nearly makes the whole thing unwatchable.
This is a film for hardcore film fans and Francophiles. Everyone else may find little to sustain them beyond the pastiche and shots of Paris.
If an admirable attempt at the iconoclastic, Dans Paris is too much film school for an afternoon. Lacks even the modest structure and resolution that most audiences will demand.
If watching mopey naked French people is your idea of a date night, this is your movie.
[Romain] Duris is well and fine, and [Dans Paris] would do well to stick with him, but [Christophe] Honoré seems so wary of the pitfalls of the psychological drama that he has declined to make one at all.
Empty and narcissistic New Wave homage from the unashamedly pretentious Christophe Honoré .
The setting might be Paris, but the emotional heart is scattered in this highly pretentious muddle of relationships, timeframes and essay on sadness,"
