The French-American actress, Julie Delpy, is known for her natural talent, acting skills, and dedication to her craft. Born in Paris, France, Delpy had early exposure to the arts, thanks to her parents. Her father, Albert Delpy, and mother, Marie Pillet, are both actors. They co-starred with Delphy as her on-screen parents in 2 Days in Paris (2007). Besides acting, Delphy has an accomplished career as a film director, screenwriter, and singer-songwriter. Although born in France, Delpy, an alumnus of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, moved to the United States in 1990 and became a citizen in 2001. She...

Filmmaker and actress Julie Delpy knows what people expect of her. The star and co-writer of Richard Linklater’s “Before” trilogy and the director of such bubbly romantic dramedies as “2 Days in Paris” and its sequel “2 Days in New York” may have made her acting debut for no less than Jean-Luc Godard, but she’s been kept in a certain kind of industry bubble for the last two decades.
She’s done with that now. For her latest directorial outing, passion project “My Zoe,” Delpy moves away from romances and chatty comedies into something both wholly unexpected and more personal than anything else she’s ever made. When Delpy describes the feature, a thriller debuting in Tiff’s filmmaker-centric Platform section this week, she uses the kind of descriptors that wouldn’t fit anything else she’s made during her three-decade-long career. Words like “harsh,” “unforgiving,” and “not very kind.

In today's world of studio movie making, let's face it, it's all about franchising. It's all about the sequels. In fact, this weekend we have two sequels hitting theaters in 22 Jump Street and How to Train Your Dragon 2. The first is a comedy sequel and it's receiving great reviews, despite the fact comedies rarely have good sequels. The second has the potential to be one of the biggest movies of the summer and perhaps the biggest animated movie of 2014. Whyc Sequels sell and if they're good they sell even more. That said, last week I started considering the sequels that were actually better than the original film in any given franchise. This isn't a question of what are the best sequelsc (I've already made that list.) Instead, what sequels managed to exceed the quality and entertainment of the film(s) that came before them. In this sense I have...

A new issue of one the most essential film publications, La Furia Umana, is now available online. As always, alongside a rich collection of disparate texts, the issue has separate dossiers devoted to specific filmmakers, including ones on René Vautier (edited by Nicole Brenez) and Ida Lupino with Claire Denis. The amount of must-read coverage is daunting: included, too, are homages to Chris Marker and Stephen Dwoskin, a new video by David Phelps, and much more to explore.
In this issue, our pride and joy is to be found in the monograph-length dossier on Hollywood auteur William A. Wellman, a dossier edited by Gina Telaroli and Phelps. Our editor Daniel Kasman has contributed anoverview to Wellman's filmography; Telaroli has an incredible image-based piece on Good-bye, My Lady (alongside "scraps" and "findings" pointing the way for even more coverage of this filmmaker's wide oeuvre), filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier has a new piece,...

Five years after Julie Delpy introduced her neurotic character Marion and her oddball family in 2 Days in Paris, the actress/writer/director reunites several of the same characters in the romantic comedy 2 Days in New York, opening in Austin this week.
Unfortunately Delpy's real-life mother Marie Pillet, who played Marion's mom in the first film, passed away in 2009. However, Delpy's father Albert Delpy returns as Marion's eccentric father Jeannot, with Alexia Landeau along as Marion's boyfriend-stealing sister Rose. Ex-boyfriend Manu (Alexandre Nahon) also makes an appearance, but he's less suave and more buffoonish than in the first film, and even fat family cat Jean-Luc makes a cameo.
Marion is no longer with her neurotic boyfriend Jack from 2 Days in Paris, and continues to live in New York with their child as well as new American boyfriend Mingus (Chris Rock) and his daughter. When Marion's family travels to New York and stays in their small apartment,...

Beloved alum Julie Delpy was back at Sundance last night to unveil her new film, 2 Days in New York, a sequel to 2007′s 2 Days in Paris in which her crazy French family comes to visit her and her new live-in boyfriend played by Chris Rock. Marion and Mingus make an unexpected couple, but Delpy, who directed and co-wrote the script, said after the screening that Rock was her only choice. “I realized I couldn’t have a sequel to this film with the same boyfriend because it would be too much like Sunset/Sunrise,” she told a packed house at...

Chris Rock, who already has a penchant for Euro cinema (he adapted the Rohmer film which gave us I Think I Love My Wife) will get to ask his director and co-lead Julie Delpy about working with the likes of Leos Carax, Schlöndorff and Krzysztof Kieslowski. Rock has been cast to play the American boyfriend role in the sequel to Delpy's 2 Days in Paris. Titled 2 Days in New York, (Deply told us in an interview that she loves Woody Allen's Manhattan) the basic premise sees Delpy's character Marion having to juggle career, kids, ex-boyfriends and her current African American squeeze. The ex-boyfriend in this case, is not Adam Goldberg, but a French former flame -- perhaps in the Romain Duris vein. Last we heard, Goldberg was going to be a "no show" for this engagement, but perhaps Delpy revised her draft to include him, perhaps in a throwaway cameo scene...

Lovers in the city of romance. Jack's American; Marion's French. He's a hypochondriac; she worries about the state of the world. He's an interior designer; she's a photographer. He's in a foreign city, and she's back where she grew up. Everywhere she runs into old lovers. Jealous? Jack?
Julie Delpy has written, edited, directed and written the music for "Two Days in Paris", and as director she is well served by the other three, not to mention being smart enough to cast herself as Marion and the ineffably winning Adam Goldberg as Jack.
The result is an utterly charming comedy of sexual manners that should do very well wherever audiences appreciate savvy dialogue and smart, observational filmmaking.
The two lovers are returning from a vacation in Venice, heading back to New York where they live, but stopping in Paris for a couple of days and nights of romance. In a voiceover, Marion says their relationship has the usual ups and downs, and it's soon evident that key to their union is a shared sense of very quirky humor.
Waiting in a line for a cab, Jack is pestered by a vocal American woman who explains that she and her companions are "Code"-breakers and asks if he can direct them to the Louvre. Jack blithely sends them off on foot to the suburbs, thus saving the museum from another assault by Dan Brown fans, and reducing the length of the queue.
They are staying at Marion's old apartment, which she has kept not least because it's two floors up from where her mother and father live and they take care of it. The pipes are leaky, and Jack fears the place is a Petri dish for allergens, but they settle in, arguing all the way in their friendly, flirty way.
Marion's mother (Marie Pillet) and father (Albert Delpy, Julie's real dad) tease Jack mercilessly, but he gives as good as he gets, although he doesn't think so. The only genuine embarrassment is when her sister Rose (Aleksia Landeau) produces a picture Marion took of Jack when he was naked apart from helium balloons attached to his genitalia.
The 48-hour stopover soon seems destined to introduce Jack to the myriad ways that beautiful French women attract and deal with the attentions of men, sometimes smooth but often crude. When several of the men they run into are revealed as Marion's ex-lovers, their relative states of mind regarding love and fidelity are tested to the utmost.
Delpy writes very well and many of the jokes and lines are extremely funny. She handles actors well, and there's an amusing cameo by Daniel Bruhl as an otherwise agreeable animal rights activist with a grudge against fast-food restaurants. Delpy has genuine comic chops and Goldberg handles every situation with the New York equivalent of Hugh Grant's insouciance. Together they do nothing to rob Paris of its reputation for joyful romantic adventures.
