Three asian directors worked on ‘New York I Love You’; Jiang Wen, Shekhar Kapur and Shunji Iwai. Let’s see what Variety writes about it:
Unanticipated relationships similarly inform the episodes directed by Jiang Wen & Yvan Attal, but they lack the tight punchiness needed for such quick work. (…)
Orlando Bloom is a musician on a tight deadline in Shunji Iwai’s segment, an OK entry made pleasant by the enticingly sweet voice of Christina Ricci as the largely unseen woman encouraging him on the phone. (…)
Oddest of all is the short helmed by Shekhar Kapur (…) Meant to convey feelings of wistfulness and yearning, the piece merely feels ill thought-out, despite Julie Christie’s best efforts.
Too bad we don’t know much more about Shunji Iwai’s segment! It’s like their review for Sabu’s Crab Cannery Ship, they should publish directly on Twitter, 140 characters are far enough for that kind of stuff?
