Directed by: So many people it feels like the members of United Nations are directors who work together nicely.
Run time: Not longer than Avatar, enough to finish three regular size popcorn, four cupcakes and two large glasses of ice tea
New York as the city of love? Does this mean Bruce Willis and Will Smith already stop wreaking CGI havoc in the big apple? I am glad at least some filmmaker didn't cast New York as city of superheroes, international spy thriller or decent action flick.
For those with short attention span, or those who cannot sit nicely in a movie theater more than 90 minute, this is a delight. It feels like a candy or cupcake buffet where you were exposed into so many choices.
With superb cinematography (it feels that the scenes sprung up from postcards), this film is as good as Paris, J'taime. Some performance are beyond good, like Shia LaBeouf who (at last!) show that he can act without CGI, let's just hope he took the Leonardo DiCaprio lane instead of Zac Efron way, and Chris Cooper. My favorite segment is the one with Anton Yelchin directed by Brett Ratner, the one with Natalie Portman by Mira Nair, the one by Shekhar Kapur (finishing Anthony Minghella's part) with Shia LaBeouf and the one by Joshua Marston with Eli Wallach (Tuco from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)).
The rest of the segment is also nice, although the one by Fatih Akin is underdeveloped and the one by Shunji Iwai is just plain boring, lucky for Shunji, Orlando Bloom didn't disappoint, he just need a better script since his segment is aimless. The segment by Jiang Wen is attractive but lack of mojo, I don't know, is it because of Hayden Christensen losing his 'force'.
I have not visited New York, but this film manage to show the beautiful side of New York. I just don't understand why critics doesn't give high rating for this film, does love bores them?
So who directed these segment of love? Hold your breath, here they are: Jiang Wen, Mira Nair, Shunji Iwai, Yvan Attal, Brett Ratner, Allen Hughes, Shekhar Kapur, Natalie Portman, Fatih Akin, Joshua Marston and Randy Balsmeyer. As for Scarlett Johansson segment, the producer decided not to include it in the final cut. I have no idea why, but I wanted to know Scarlett's talent behind the camera.
Speaking of city of love franchise, next year the producer will release Shanghai, I Love You. I do hope they will also consider these places as backdrop; Baghdad, Rome, Berlin, Cairo or perhaps....Pandora!
