- Paul, depressed from his recent break-up with Anna, returns home to Paris and moves back in with his divorced father and amorous younger brother, Jonathan.

Movie Reviews of Dans Paris
Movie Review: A bittersweet love letter to Paris and French cinema.
Summary: 5 Stars
Also known for his films Close to Leo and Les Chansons d'amour, French Nouvelle-Vague director Christophe Honoré's 2006 follow up to Ma Mere, Dans Paris, tells the psychological story of two brothers, mopey Paul (Romain Duris) and carefree Jonathan (Louis Garrel), who console one another while sharing a flat with their doting, divorced father, Mirko (Guy Marchand) in Paris at Christmas. For the three men, sadness seems to be a family trait. Paul has ended his relationship with his lovely girlfriend, Anna (Joanna Preiss), and spends his time in bed. Jonathan attempts to escape his sadness through sex. He is capable of sleeping with several women just while on a short errand to Bon Marche. Adding to the emotional depth of this melancholy film, both brothers are haunted by the suicide of their sister, Claire. (If the story sounds familiar, critics have noted the inspiration for this film may have been Salinger's novel, Franny and Zooey, which a deleted bathroom scene on the DVD also suggests. In another scene, Jonathan is even shown reading the novel.) When it comes to his son's despair, Mirko is totally inept, and can only encourage Paul to eat something. Dans Paris is as much a study in Paul's depression and one family's sorrow as a love letter to both the City of Lights and French New Wave cinema. Full of humanity and humour, this film is no more "pretentious" than a François Truffaut film, and the denouement is emotionally transcendent.
