About This Movie

So, 'Concerning Nice' is this fascinating anthology that pulls together a series of shorts all centered around the city of Nice. The vibe is pretty eclectic, thanks to the different directors lending their own style and perspective. It pays homage to Jean Vigo's 'À propos de Nice,' which is evident in its playful yet reflective tone. The pacing can be uneven, but that kind of fits with the city's own rhythm—sometimes laid-back, sometimes bustling with life. There’s this sense of nostalgia and a touch of surrealism throughout. The practical effects are minimal, focusing more on the real charm of the city itself. Each segment feels like a little love letter, showcasing Nice’s beauty and quirks in a way that’s both poetic and slightly off-kilter.
