2 Days in Paris - 2007

This movie was not only written by Julie Delpy, but also directed and produced by her. It tells the story of a couple spending a week end in Paris. Marion, a French photographer, and Jack, her neurotic American boyfriend, went to visit Marion's parents and pick up their cat there. After spending the vacation in Venice, they decided to stay there for a week end. During this week end, they will soon realize that, even though they have been together for two years, they do not really know each other.
Jack has doubts about Marion's fidelity after discovering suspicious texts of her exes on her phone, and meeting some of them in the street and at a party organized by one of her friends. French people seem to be very keen on sex and to have a very strange sense of humor according to him. He does not feel comfortable around them. Moreover, he does not understand a word they say in French.
In her movie, Julie Delpy highlights the stereotypes Americans have about French people and makes fun of them. It is definitely not a movie to take literally. She also tackles the subject of the difficulty of relationships and the modern role of the woman in a couple who does not want to be consumed by her partner.
2 Days in Paris is probably the most popular movie by Julie Delpy, and one of the most appreciated by the audience. I personally think it is her best movie.
Besides, it won the Coup de Coeur Award from the Mons International Festival of Love Films.
