[Image: A young couple sits and carries on a conversation.  The brown girl fixes her black headscarf as the white boy watches her.]

François: You have beautiful hair.  Why are you forced to cover it up?

Zarka:  I’m not forced.  It was my choice.

François: Too bad, because you’re very pretty.

Zarka:  Thank you, but … does that mean with it, I’m ugly?

François:  I didn’t mean that.

Zarka:  It’s enough that I find myself pretty.  When I wear the headscarf, I feel I have a faith — an identity.  I feel good, and that’s also beauty.]

If you haven’t seen this movie — Paris, je t’aime — DO IT.  It has some of the most beautiful, heartrending, thought-provoking, funny and touching imagery and storytelling I’ve ever seen on film.  Some banality as well, but sifting through the various stories to see which ones resonate with you and which are chaff and which are mindless pretty is part of the fun.

Also, if you watch the last bit with Margo Martindale and don’t weep like your eyes are coming out, I don’t wanna know about it.
