Also this week:
Paris, by Cédric Klapisch.
One of those movies that has a whole lot of characters, some of whom intersect in odd ways. I thought I identified one great loop of intersection & a cluster of other characters that don't intersect with the loop, but then I remembered that one of that cluster was neighbor to the main characters & does interact briefly with them.
Fabrice Luchini plays a very Fabrice Luchini character, who is significant in one cluster, & might have been central to another less expansive movie.
Juliette Binoche is perhaps most recognizable to English-speaking audiences, & has a lot of scenes, especially early.
But the real "central/p.o.v. character" seems to a man named Pierre (Romain Duris) who is dying of a heart condition at a rather young age, has quit work due to weakness (he was a dancer, apparently), & stands outside his apartment watching those around him. We then follow them around.
I found the treatment of sexual mores a bit surprising in one bit, but I'm a giant prude & not French.
