…an impressive, funny urban comedy of manners from a suitably distinctive voice that I hope we’ll hear again soon.

A movie that is as acutely painful as it is acutely funny.

The last time I laughed so hard at a movie, it was Nigel Tufnel telling us his amplifier went to 11.

Gone With The Twins
Actress Julie Delpy makes her directing debut with 2 Days in Paris, which is at once a gimlet-eyed love story and a refreshingly cynical take on the French character.

Felicia Feaster
Charleston City Paper
The comedic observations are spot-on and Delpy, who in addition to directing and starring in the film also edited and composed the music, deserves plaudits.

The List
There are some great moments of cross-cultural transference and culture clash captured by Delpy’s dynamic camera, which organically flows between the conversations and social mishaps of her characters.

Plot
2 Jours – 2 Days follows two days in the relationship of a New York based couple – a French photographer Marion and American interior designer Jack – as they attempt to re-infuse their relationship with romance by taking a vacation in Europe. Their trip to Venice didn’t really work out, – they both came down with gastroenteritis. They have higher hopes for Paris. But the combination of Marion’s overbearing non-English-speaking parents, flirtatious ex-boyfriends, and Jack’s obsession with photographing every famous Parisian tombstone and conviction that French condoms are too small, only adds fuel to the fire. Will they be able to salvage their relationship? Will they ever have sex again? Or will they merely manage to perfect the art of arguing?
