two days in paris
Guiding cliché: a version of everyone's fucked up and that's finally okay they can still successfully pair off.
Compare favorably to Waitress: also directed by female actor who appears in film, equally clichéd account of human psychology — this case just happens to be a somewhat less noxious banality.
Compare unfavorably to "One Night in Bangkok."
[ps: modernism/modernity discussion left unfinished: once art stars, displace by machines, turned to chess. Now chess stars, displaced by machines, turn to politics.]
