My gosh - when she breathes in and repeats herself - "Oui, vivant!" - on that park bench...that's a whole epic film and a novel, right there, in those few seconds.
This was shockingly good. I was really not impressed with most of the shorts from this film, but whoever this director was, he blew away a lot of bigger names.
I feel this way as well, but not about Paris. About my home. A place called Wiesbaden. I fell in love with it, and it's the only time in my life when I've felt the feeling was mutual. Wiesbaden and I are apart right now, and I ache for it, but I know I'll be going back to it soon.
This short is fantastic - funny, tragic, hopeful, and profound all at the same time. Idk who else caught this, but I think that the graves she visits are symbolic of her experience in Paris. Sartre and de Beauvoir were existential philosophers, and Diaz was an exiled Mexican president. Diaz's grave represents her as a stranger in a strange land, lonely and out of place. The philosopers' grave represents the existential experience she has at the end, which is similar to what Sartre describes in his writings - an experience of pure existence, a moment where your relationship with your environment is stripped of all inherent value or meaning. Everything just "is", which is at once beautiful, tragic, and freeing.
once she started talking about dead people at the cemetery, she sounded so depressed... made me wanna shoot myself until the random expressions made in the elevator
I still can’t watch this short without crying. Her resignation to loneliness is heartbreaking and relatable.

"Something I had missed my entire life..." oh, that poignant line. Being saved late in life can be an overwhelming event. Crushingly beautiful.
This was the performance that made me a big fan of Margo Martindale.
And then Character Actress Margo Martindale elevated it.

I love this short as well. It made me cry the first time I watched it.
I love this...the best short movie of all (in the movie). It's touching, it's beautiful. It makes you think about YOUR life...
I fell in love with her in this sequence which was, for me, a work of art in and of itself.

Hehehe.."j'ai vu la tombe de Jean-Paul Sartre et Simon Bolivar" Love it.
:)
the reason the film closes with this is because it's the best one
I love this view of Paris. It shows that the city is just as idyllic as the movies picture it, in some ways. The end always makes me cry. :)
My favorite short film of the movie. It touches me.

Very interesting analysis! And the funny fact that she says Simon Bolivar instead of Simone de Beauvoir (the English subtitles 'correct' her mix-up)
Mon préféré de tous..
My favorite part of the whole film. :-)
me to :)
Simone Beauvoir, elle a dit: Simón Bolívar
reminds me of the song tristesse/joie by yelle

God it hurts
Oh daddy
@@MichaelJohnson-gn7hi ????
The Ssrte and De Beauvoir grave. Pleasant. Nelson Algren would have a lot to say.
Does anybody know the name of the park?

Makes me cry every time 🥺
ugh, why is the english one so much quieter than the others?
still, i love this part!

But if you stuck around til the end you should have been elevated to a much higher place. That ending is the best redemption of the human heart.
@efkavole parc mountsouris
she went to Paris while she was a fugitive of the law???
