"New York, I Love You" is the sequel to "Paris I Love You" in 2006, co-produced by 12 well-known directors, including Jiang Wen, Shunji Iwai, who is more familiar to everyone, and Brett Ratner, who has directed the American drama "Prison Break". In Douban, it has a non-profit rating of 7.6, although it is niche, but it has also received many good reviews.
The production team's requirement that every director must tell an ordinary or bizarre little story that takes place in New York City in 10 minutes is a bit like a proposition essay for directors, which is cool.
In this movie, you can not only see 12 short films, but you can also guess which director made this segment through the different styles of each short film. For example, in Jiang Wen's short film, he added the English dictation of "Flower Room Girl", which is quite interesting, and in another paragraph starring Shu Qi, the shot of her being casually drawn on napkin paper is also romantic enough.
The "Urban Shorts" series, created by renowned producer Emmanuel Bemby, traveled from Paris to New York, and Emmanuel Bembi said: "It's like a quick blind date, each clip is no more than 8 minutes long, and it's all about a love story." "Each of these short stories is very elaborate in terms of screenwriting, lens language, actor performance, shooting technology, although it is a short story, but most of them are worth watching, the fly in the ointment is in the final fusion, everyone tries to make the stories connect with each other, which will make people feel a little deliberate, not as good as "Paris I Love You", each story is completely independent, but it seems clean and generous.
In the current market where short films are rampant, it is inevitable to think of such a "short film splicing" film, if you do not look at this film harshly, "New York, I Love You" is still a very watchable movie.
