Événement

Paris pieds nus

Ontario Premiere

Fiona, a small town Canadian librarian, receives a letter of distress from her 88-year-old Aunt Martha living in Paris. Fiona hops on the first plane only to discover that Martha has disappeared. In an avalanche of spectacular disasters, she meets Dom, a seductive egotistical homeless guy who wont leave her alone. The fun and hectic tale of three peculiar people lost in Paris.

In a world where comedy has gone raunchy, we'll always have Paris which has seldom been funnier or more charming than as seen through burlesque duo Abel and Gordon's eyes. (Peter Debruge, Variety)

In Lost in Paris, the married directors and stars Fiona Gordon and Dominique Abel show a grace for physical comedy and pretzel-like pas de deux. If their fourth feature () is mild by design, their style equal parts Jacques Tati, Jerry Lewis, Wes Anderson and Wallace & Gromit isnt easy to pull off. (Ben Kenigsberg, The New York Times)
