Featuring an original score by Julie Delpy, Two Days in Paris takes a candidlook at the relationship of French photographer, Marion (Delpy), and Americaninterior designer, Jack (Goldberg), as they attempt to re-infuse theirrelationship with romance by taking a vacation in Europe. Their trip to Venicehasn't really worked out - Jack came down with gastroenteritis - but they havehigher hopes for Paris. However, the combination of Marion's overbearingnon-English-speaking parents, her flirtatious ex-boyfriends, Jack's obsessionwith photographing every famous Parisian tombstone and his conviction thatFrench condoms are too small, only add fuel to the fire. Will they be able to salvage their relationship? Will they ever have sex again?Or will they merely manage to perfect the art of arguing? Co-starring the multiple-award-winning German actor Daniel Bruhl (The BourneUltimatum, Ladies In Lavender), Two Days in Paris is produced by ChristopheMazodier and Thierry Potok and will be released at cinemas across the UK by TheWorks UK Distribution Ltd on 31 August 2007.
