Silence Speaks

New York I Love You

This may sound familiar because Paris, je'taime was its precedent film. Next to come is Shanghai, wo ai ni. Hahahha no like seriously. After Shanghai would be Rio de Janeiro, Jerusalem and Venice, before heading to Timbuktu.

New York, I Love You is a collective work of eleven short films, with each segment running around 10 minutes long. Some of the actors have international status (Natalie Portman, Shia LaBeouf, Hayden Christensen, Orlando Bloom, and Irrfan Khan), with each shooting their part in one of New York's five boroughs. Similar to the previous film, Paris, je t'aime, the shorts presented together will not relate but will all tie into the common theme of finding love. New York, I Love You is the second episode of the Cities of Love franchise created and produced by Emmanuel Benbihy.

Plot
In the Diamond District, an intercultural romantic fantasy transforms the purchase of a precious stone. Meanwhile, in Chinatown, a desperate artist pursues a reluctant muse. Within an Upper East Side hotel, a sophisticated guest and a mysterious bellboy journey outside of time. After an unexpected night in Central Park, a young man's prom date has a surprising revelation. Traveling towards the Village, two lovers speed by taxi, subway and foot to meet for the first time after what they thought was a one-night stand. In Tribeca, a pickpocket finds the tables turned when he follows an alluring girl. And in Brooklyn, a moment of Coney Island bliss envelops an octogenarian couple. These stories and more are all woven together to form a colorful, lyrical collage not only of the city – but of the deep yearning for love and human connections that sustain everyone within it.

Because I absolutely love pictures;





I particularly like the last part, where the Zoe projects all the videos she captured using a building as a backdrop. <3 the part where and the how Abe and Mitzie celebrated their 63th anniversary together. (Although some parts of the film were mind-boogling.) But oh wells. 3.1 stars
