Quirky, some funny moments but the movie didn't live up to the trailer as often happens.

Reviewer Ibenot obviously missed the subtle nod to old silent movies. To say the scenes were disconnected seems to me that he/she didn't watch the whole film as they all connected in the end and that was the plot that I followed quite easily. The dancing shoes scene performed by two of France's iconic comedians was pure joy and sadly the wonderful Emmanuelle Riva died not long after this film was made. Seemingly she agreed to appear because of the Buster Keaton style it emulated. Perhaps Ibenot should have the lobotomy instead as this obviously went over his/her head. So don't ignore the pseudo-intellectual ramblings but do ignore Mr/Mrs/Ms Ibenot and enjoy the 90minutes of classic comedy presented here.

So clever. The characters so likable. The humor so different. Dance routines original and entertaining (I'm not generally much of a 'song and dance' fan). Am going to put the other movies from this pair (Abel & Gordon) in my queue.

Every now and then a film comes along that defies conventional genre labels. From its enticing title and zany opening scenes, the independent French-Belgium film Lost in Paris (2017)teases the senses with its mix of vaudeville/burlesque comedy and circus slapstick, all interleaved with a drama on ageing and, of course, a romance. Like all circus-style performance, any semblance of a story only serves to join the non-stop physical comedy into a narrative whole. A timid librarian in Canada, Fiona (Fiona Gordon) has always dreamt of going to Paris. One day she learns that her 88-year old aunt Martha (Emmanuele Riva) has run away from her Paris home because the authorities want her in aged care. In Canadian Mountie style, she packs her knapsack and flies to France. Searching the streets of Paris, she meets Dom (Dominique Abel), a comic tramp keen to assist as well as help himself to whatever he can, The various adventure skits play out as if on a vaudeville stage but with Parisian scenery. With a storyline as thin as this, you may wonder what holds the film together. Every scene contains a sight gag; some are downright corny, others whimsically cute. Like a door opens during a Canadian blizzard and everyone tilts forty-five degrees; Martha and her long-lost lover on a park bench dance only with their feet in a too-cute metaphor of synchronicity; and the top-heavy toppling into the Seine makes any cinema erupt in laughter. It's wonderful that anyone still makes films like this. The three principals are more caricatures than people, both in appearance and performance. While this risks emotional disengagement from the cast, it also means comedy entertainment takes precedence over all else, unless you want to dig deeper. After all, life is offering the gawky-spinster Fiona a bigger purpose and a chance at love; fate calls on the vagabond Dom to rise above his lot; and Martha's mischief proves that age is just a number. But these are incidental messages to the film's unequivocal pursuit of laughter. Comedy plays a serious role in absurdism by making us ask "why not?". Why shouldn't these three gentle misfits have some fun and why shouldn't a film resurrect the styles of Charlie Chaplin, The Three Stooges, or Laurel and Hardy? In these troubled times, we take life far too seriously.

I can only agree with the previous reviewer "One of best French / English movies I've ever seen." With a refreshing style this film had me laughing with guffaws and belly laughs within minutes from scene 2 right through to the end. The plot was simple and the principle characters Fiona Gordon, Emmanuelle Riva and Dominique Abel were a delight. Although the plot was simple it was embedded with amusing intrigue which ran and ran. Very well constructed, extremely funny and I will happily watch it again and again. .. just what did happen to those socks?

One of best French / English movies I've ever seen. It's so darn funny, you will definitely lose oneself in the movie. Must watch for people would like something unpredictable and not that usual humour.

No two ways about it. I loved this movie. It's brilliantly unique and unlike anything currently out there. The film is about a Canadian woman who receives a letter from her Parisian aunt indicating that she needs help. She goes to rescue her and along the way is equal parts hindered and helped by a vagrant who she feels an attraction to. What makes the film so great isn't the plot, which is relatively simple, but the slapstick nature of the film. It owes more to Charlie Chaplin, silent films, and clowning than to anything else, though it does incorporate sound and colour quite beautifully. The film is pretty much guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Highly recommend this one.

The Albuquerque Film Club just finished a twice-daily four-day run of the French-Belgian comedy, Lost in Paris (Paris pied nus). In the AFC's five years' of presenting nearly eighty films, seldom have we had as enthusiastic response to any film of any era or any nation. Literally hundred of patrons thanked the Guild Cinema management or me (the host) and said that Lost in Paris was wonderful, and many added was the best comedy they had seen in ages. Why? Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon, the husband & wife team at the center of Lost in Paris are very likely the most inventive, joyful and brilliant comedians in movies today. They studied physical comedy with famed Jacques Lecoq, but they are also skilled handling dialogue. Both look like ordinary people, as most of us do, but a bit stranger; still they make a believable and attractive romantic duo. Fiona plays a spinster librarian, brought from arctic Canada to Paris by a distress letter from her elderly aunt (played by French film icon Emmanuelle Riva (aged 88). There Fiona encounters Dom Abel, a bohemian scrounging the leftovers of Parisian life, not because he is society's cast- off, but because he is happy to be footloose and a bit of a rascal. I've now seen Lost in Paris four times. I laughed heartily at each showing, but by the third and fourth I was able to recognize how brilliantly constructed the script was, how well placed were the 'big moments', and how craftily Sandrine Deegan edited the film. Many comedians undermine themselves by trying to write, direct and star. In Lost in Paris, Dom and Fiona excel at all three skills. The ABQ Film Club Has Already booked their 2011 equally hilarious film, The Fairy (La Fee) for November 2017. Don't miss either movie.

(Flash Review) A blatantly quirky Canadian woman heads to Paris to help her aging mother avoid moving into a nursing home. When she arrives she loses her luggage and money and can't locate her Mom. Bummer. Then she runs into a man who lives in a tent by the river who had found and taken her stuff including money. He splurges on a meal and meets the woman at a nice restaurant as she notices he's wearing her sweater. During this strange locate grandma adventure, this dude crosses her path awkwardly often as well as a couple other characters. Will she find hey way around Paris and will her grandma turn up? There is a lot of choreographed physical comedy and the sandpaper dry humor was accompanied by eclectic Euro music. For whatever reason, this ended up feeling very irritating, tedious and grating.
