Paris can wait (2016)

Paris can wait tells us the story of Anne, the wife of a film producer. They were in Cannes for the film festival, but now he is going to the set of his new film, and she wants to go to Paris.

Unfortunately she cannot go by plane, since she has an ear problem, but a friend of her husband offers to drive her to Paris.

Only it will not be the shortest trip, but one with attention for beautiful locations and towns along the route, and of course plenty of time for good food!

I read a lot of critique about this film, that is is without chemistry or that is has no dept at all. I do not agree. Is it a light movie, yes, but it is also charming and fun.

I liked the chemistry between Anne (Diane Lane) and Jacques (Arnoud Viard), and I liked how there was a little flirting, but nothing more than that. This is not the story of a passionate love affaire, but a trip to find back some love for life. To take the time to enjoy and to watch and to truely see something.

Anne (Diane Lane)

Anne is a amateur photographer, and I enjoyed how they inserted her photographs into the movie. The scenery is wonderful and all I wanted was to be in that car with them!

If you want a story with a lot of layers and a complicated plot, this is not the right film. But if you want a charming and light film, set in beautiful France, celebrating life and friendship, than this is a good choice.
