"Live the Language"








I don't even know how I ended up finding this, but I thought it was really well-done and it made me grin :)
It's also disgustingly cute and frilly, and doesn't really capture the actual vibe of Paris—which even an amateur, wanna-be Parisian like myself can tell you is not all smiles and rainbow Macaroons and falling in love at sunset...
I guess the director made an aesthetic choice to leave out the part of this girls day where she steps in dog poo, has to squeeze into a crowded smelly metro car, and is bombarded by armies of 8-year-old pickpockets. Probably a wise decision. I suppose time, space, and point-of-view constrain all visual media though.. so what can ya do?
