A Bonjour Paris recommendation : FRENCH KISS
A Bonjour Paris recommendation.
FRENCH KISS
-- If you love Paris, you'll love this movie, period, the end. If
you adore Meg Ryan, all the better. And if you can't get enough of
Kevin Kline, then this might just end up being one of your top ten
favorite movies of all time.
Short
synopsis: Kate (Meg Ryan) is afraid to fly. Her fiance,
Charlie (played by Timothy Hutton), is not. Right
before their wedding, Charlie goes to France on
business, but falls in love with a French woman (Susan Anbeh)
instead. Charlie calls Kate, calls of the wedding, and Kate calls
the airlines. She's going to get him back, even if it means
flying. Enter Luc (Kevin Kline with a perfect
Frenchman-speaking-English accent), a rogue pickpocket. Kate has
to sit next to him on the airplane and loathes him from the get-go.
The
real story begins at CDG airport, when Luc slips something into Kate's
backpack. After they are ot of the airport, he tries to get it
back, but he can't. So he follows her. She can't stand him,
yet he keeps turning up. From there, Kate tries to get Charlie,
and Luc tries to get Kate's backpack. Eventually, Luc
helps Kate fix things... but not in the way she had thought; and
she helps him, but not in the way he had thought. Delightful
movie.
Whether you've seen the movie or not, the soundtrack
will make you swoon. Van Morrison sings Someone Like You; Louis
Armstrong hits his stride in Vie en Rose; Ella
Fitzgerald does her Ella best on I Love Paris; and so much
more. Sexiest of all is Kevin Kline singing Mer -- a real
don't-miss.
True Story:
this film is so romantic that when one of our editors watched it with a
Frenchman, he proposed to her on the spot.
