About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a black-and-white Paris fable that mixes romance, humor, and self-discovery with a slightly surreal edge; Not for you if you dislike fairy-tale setups, crude moments, or talky pacing like in Wings of Desire.
Pros: romantic modern fairy tale; funny and touching moments; Paris black-and-white charm | Cons: fast, unrelenting dialogue; crude or sexual scenes; neat, convenient fixes
