Country: France
Plot: Manhattan couple Marion and Mingus, find their comfortable family dynamic jostled by a visit from Marion's relatives.
Quick comment: “2 days in New York” follows 2007’s “2 days in Paris”. This time, famous
actress/director Julie Delpy introduces a very peculiar French family in
action, Chris Rock having long conversations with an Obama’s poster and even
Vincent Gallo buying souls. It tries to look wacky and delivers some craziness
that worked fine for a few times, but most of the situations were completely
neurotic silliness. In sum, this is a confrontation between French and American
cultures that doesn’t take us anywhere.
