From: Rémi Category: Films Date: 20 October 2009 Time: 11:34 AM Review: I seem to come across works of art that would have been very concordant with my take on life 5- 10 years ago, before I became myself a petty bourgeois. Jeff Dyer's 'Paris Trance' made me feel like that. Nonetheless, these are enjoyable, if wistful, artistic experiences for me. Script was by Gilbert Adair, clearly a cinephile, littering the film with cinema references galore though not always bringing this cinephilia to the audience in a demonstrative way. In same ways shocking, but actually quite playful, the motion picture followed the inner lives and sexual lives of a brother, sister and friend around May 1968. It all ended quite abruptly.
