Dans Paris

This French comedy opens with two brothers in bed with a girl. One looks at the camera, apologizes for speaking directly to the audience, and then asks, “How would someone throw themselves off a bridge for love?” Rest assured, we’ll find out. Dans Paris (Inside Paris, not to be confused with One Night in Paris) unfolds over the course of a single day, when the would-be jumper, utterly despondent over the collapse of his marriage, returns home to live with his divorced father and hyperactive, sexed-up younger brother. .

It is already being acclaimed as a brilliant character study, a love letter to Paris, and one of the sultriest, most complex comedies to hit our shores in many a year. 612-825-6006; www.landmarktheatres.com
