T<\/span>his answer is certainly Paris, because I am utterly in love with cinematic Paris. I like real Paris, too, but the Paris that’s in the movies is magical. Tip for screenwriters: set your film in Paris, and I am 95% guaranteed to like it. But I’m probably supposed to choose just one film for this question, and I’m not sure I can do that. From B&W French New Wave films with intellectual (or pseudo-intellectual) youths wandering in and out of coffeeshops to Americans in Paris like Funny Face<\/em> or, well, An American in Paris<\/em> to more recent depictions like Amelie<\/em> or Paris, je t’aime<\/em> or Avenue Montaigne<\/em> and even Ratatouille<\/em>, cinematic Paris is heavenly. I want to go to there.<\/p>\nThis is the final short in the compilation Paris, je t’aime<\/em> (directed by Alexander Payne), about a middle-aged American woman traveling alone to Paris for the first time. She narrates her experiences in voiceover as an essay for her French class, in a very American accent. Though you don’t see too much of Paris in this short, and it’s a bit on the sad side, it’s a perfect capper to the film and expresses the way foreigners (like me) fall in love with Paris.<\/p>\n
