Yesterday I finally got the time to watch my Paris Je t'aime-dvd. It made me desperately wanna go to the City of Light, it made me cry (the Juliette Binoche-part) and it made me laugh (Steve Buscemi never fails). It made me realise that it's been a loooong time since I've been to the movies - one of the downsides of being a dad, I guess.
It's also an explanation why I haven't seen Les Chansons d'Amour, a film by Christophe Honoré that was brought to my attention by Jorge (thanks again). He directed me to this MySpace-page, featuring short extraits. This user-comment on IMDB tells us the film's about a threesome, told in a very musical way. Films featuring Ludivine Sagnier usually are fine (she's also in Paris Je t'Aime), and she sings on the soundtrack. So does Chiara Mastroianni, also a big plus ofcourse. The music's composed by Alex Beaupain,
The quality of songs on the soundtrack differs, same goes for Marc Collin's Two For The Road project. Collin is ofcourse the mastermind behind Nouvelle Vague, Ollano and many other projects (older post here), TFTR is an soundtrack for an imaginary film about two highschool sweethearts who meet up after 10 years. They go on a trip, with dramatic outcome. The songs are sung by Feist-soundalike Katrine Ottosen (pictured) and Valente, who Marc met via MySpace. Best song is the theme, which reminds me a little of Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle for One from the Heart. Read more here, where Marc tells us that a second Ollano album featuring Camille was in the works, but never finished. Could you please get it back on track, Marc? Or have Melanie Pain finish her album? It's nice you lend your hand to English singing broads like Birdpaula, Olga Kouklaki and Phoebe Killdeer, but we wanna hear some French stuff from you too!
Ludivine Sagnier, Chiara Mastroianni, Brigitte Rouan, Jean-Marie Winling, Alice Butaud - La Bastille
Ludivine, Louis Garrel, Clothilde Hesme - Je n'aime que toi

Ludivine Sagnier is also great in the latest Chabrol movie called "La jeune fille coupée en deux".
