[2
DAYS IN NEW YORK opens in
Cleveland on Friday August 31st exclusively at the Cedar Lee Theatre.]
Review
by Bob Ignizio
“There
just aren't enough quirky indie films about self-absorbed artist
types living in New York,” said no sane person ever. Nonetheless,
star/co-writer/director Julie Delpy has made another one with 2
DAYS IN NEW YORK, a sequel to
her 2007 film 2 DAYS IN PARIS.
Don't worry if you missed the prior 2 DAYS;
everything you need to know is capsulized in a puppet show
introduction.
The
film is essentially an arthouse version of something like MEET
THE PARENTS. Fine art
photographer Marion (Delpy), her live-in writer/talk radio host
boyfriend Mingus (Chris Rock), and their two children (each from
previous relationships) are preparing to host a visit by Marion's
family who have flown in from France: her widower father Jeannot
(Albert Delpy), her sister Rose (Alexia Landeau), and, unexpectedly,
Manu (Alexandre Nahon), a past boyfriend of Marion's who is now
dating Rose.
