Hollywood, je t'aime

2009 · 95 min

A bittersweet, sunlit wander through LA's eccentric edges, mixing gentle comedy with a lonely heart's quiet ache.

Overview: Recently broken up and barely enduring a dreary winter, gay Parisian Jérôme Beaunez impulsively books a solo Christmas vacation to Los Angeles. While there he meets some colorful locals and pursues a dormant desire to become a movie star - but never can quite put the past behind him. In this meditation on love and narcissism across continents, Jérôme goes far in the sun-drenched City of Angels but ultimately arrives at an old Hollywood maxim: there's no place like home.
How it feels: Melancholic, warm, whimsical and romantic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, love, loneliness, ambition
