French sex symbols Romain Duris and Louis Garrel join screen icons Guy
Marchand and Marie-France Pisier in writer-director Christophe Honoré's
four-character chamber drama Dans Paris (Inside Paris). Duris plays
Paul, a young man in his early thirties who splits with his girlfriend.
Feeling depressed, he opts to move into a flat with his brother Jonathan
(Garrel, who also narrates) and their father (Marchand). The ladykiller
Jonathan slyly attempts to talk Paul into a shopping trip to lift his
spirits, but ends up venturing out alone and engages in rendezvous with
several women. Meanwhile, the boys' stylishly-dressed and gorgeous
mother (Pisier) turns up and adds one more complexity to the network of
relationships in the house. Honoré laces his drama with comedic touches
and crafts the film in the gentle mode of early sixties French pictures
by Truffaut, Godard and others.
