“Three times Julie Delpy”. I was reading an interview that Julie Delpy gave to The Believer magazine, and I recalled seeing three films where she seems to be portraying some of her experiences, at least from my subjective perspective on the films: “Before Sunrise”, “Before Sunset” and “2 Days in Paris”. The funny stories and situations that take place in those films, mixing a girl from Paris and an American guy, are quite interesting and insightful. Can such things really happen? Did they happen to someone, to her? Well, the Shakespeare and Company bookshop in Paris, where “Before Sunset” starts, is certainly for real, and most of the stories in those films could happen to anyone. Ok, almost anyone… Anyway, it is good cinema and she certainly has acting and writing talent. Actually, I am now also remembering a short appearance that she had in Jim Jarmusch’s Broken Flowers, where she dumps Bill Murray (another American).
