Engenue Julie Delpy
does triple-duty as writer, director and star of this romantic comedy.
French photographer Marion (Delpy) and American interior designer Jack
(Adam Goldberg) are returning from a vacation in Venice. Despite the fact
that it was supposed to be the ultimate romantic getaway, disagreements
and misunderstandings seemed to drive them farther apart rather than bringing
them closer together. Before they return to the United States, Marion and
Jack have a quick two-day stop in Paris to visit Marion's parents and pick
up the cat that they had been pet-setting for their daughter. Unfortunately
for Jack, Paris proves to be quite a culture shock. Not only are Marion's
parents a pair of eccentric former "revolutionaries" who make no qualms
about having knock-down-drag-out arguments regardless of who's present,
but they also appear to have a particular distaste for Americans. Add to
this the fact that Marion's friends hold nothing back when it comes to
discussing their sexual lives, seem fixated on food rituals, and that Marion
seems to run into former lovers on every street corner, and Jack quickly
begins to suspect that he doesn't know his girlfriend half as well as he
thought he did when they were living the simple life back in New York.
