This movie must be appreciated with the following understanding:
1. Its tagline, "Every Moment, A Story Begins"
2. That it was shot over 36 days
3. That it was a project of many directors; each who had 24 hours to film his scenes, and; one who passed away during filming
4. It won many awards at Cannes
5. It was the directorial debut of Scarlett Johannson and Natalie Portman
If you didn't understand these things before you saw the movie, your thoughts after the movie would probably be:
1. WTF was this movie about. Stories that don't seemingly join and with no conclusion. Very RANDOM
2. Lots of stars, but WTF?
I had those thoughts but what I can say is that this movie is about the energy and the mishmash of cultures of New York, and the randomness of life. It showed love in its different forms. And it doesn't conclude its stories because, who knows what will happen - thats just the way life is.
Quite a good movie, but its more for the people with imagination and with a appreciation of arty films.
