Description
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. While his carefree sibling and doting father try in vain to cheer him up, a visit from his mother seems to be the only thing that brings him joy. When Paul is then left in the house to brood and talk to one of his brother's girlfriends, he begins to realize that while things haven't gone according to plan, one can always find something to live for.

Typical French Merde, 2010-02-12
The French are self-absorbed in dramas that deal with couples breaking up. It seems to be a national fixation in the French film industry.
In these films, it doesn't matter which partner is to blame, it is the same rehashed script: Silence between the couple tells the audience that they are passive/aggressively fighting. Then the couple improvs a few lines. Next, family members have to give their opinions (and they have their short-comings too). Then everyone improvs more lines. Typical dialog in films like this: Him "Do you still love me?" (pause) Her "I don't know. Do you still love me?" (pause) Him "Would it make a difference?" (pause) Her "Would it make a difference to you?" (pause) Him "I don't know." (pause) Her "Neither do I." pause...
French directors always like to do close-ups on the faces: "More can be said with a subtle raise of your eyebrow, than two pages of dialog". That may be, but oh please, give us good dialog and quit the rapid cutting from face to face -- their expressions are blank!
By the time you are finished with a French film like this one, you definitely understand that the cast and director started off with an "idea" -- a couple breaking up -- and ad libbed it from there. There are at least a dozen films like this one on the Fench market. All the same. Redundant.
You have to think Jerry Lewis is a genius to like this film.

intimacy and transference, 2010-01-10
new wave movies are about relationships and intimacy. dans paris does a wonderful job of showing how the ability to attach as an adult is fostered in our family life as children. the only people these two brothers can really attach to are each other. the older brother was abandoned physiclly by his beloved sister, emotionally by his father, physically and emotionally by his mother and has come to fear abandonment again too much to be able to trust his girlfriend to be faithful and sets her up to fail. the brother is emotionally undeveloped because his abandonment occurred when he was quite young. none of this is spelled out. but the confusion and struggle of this very painful family life and their inabilty to move forward is beautifully developed and the emotions are palpable. i think that fear of losing the people we love is a more freqent obsticle to achieving intimacy than many people realize and the inaility to trust and take the risk of loving is very common. this is a very powerful exploration of how certain problems in being able to love and commit or even just grow up occur. i found it a deeply moving film..
Sceletons in boy bedroom, 2010-03-10
This work is about family issues and very intimate moments brothers share together also this line is well hidden beneath psycho-sexual visible activities both males demonstrate less or more explicitly on a screen.
Interesting to a Degree, 2010-05-18
I was somewhat disappointed in this DVD as the plot is somewhat slow moving at times and does not always hold one's interest. While I am familiar with the main actors in the movie and watch many foreign films, I would probably put this near the end of my list of movies to watch.
