Lost in Paris (Paris Pieds Nus) [Sub: Eng]
Martha, an eighty-year-old former Canadian dancer, has been living in Paris for decades. Now losing her head, she is threatened to be sent to an old people's home. No way. Martha decides to call her niece, Canadian librarian Fiona, for help. Alas, when her relative arrives in the French capital, Martha has disappeared. Worse, Fiona loses both her identity documents and money after falling into the Seine. Now alone in Paris, the young woman is desperate. It is at this point that Dom, a homeless man who lives in a tent on the Île aux Cygnes, unexpectedly comes into her life..., for better or worse.
16 August 1934, Valenciennes, Nord, France

Lost in Paris is an indie film...that pays an homage to the days of the silent film star, Charlie Chaplin, through the antics of their lead characters.

It's a little gem.

A charming mix of antiquity, modernity, humour and visual ambition.

... the story of a Canadian naif (Gordon) who is stranded in Paris and falls for a local Chaplinesque tramp (Abel) is told with such broad strokes (lots of double-takes and achingly obvious pratfalls) that it eventually becomes wearisome.

From multi-talented Belgian/Canadian duo Dominique Abel and his partner Fiona Gordon comes a slice of light-hearted whimsy.

If you can forget logic ... and just go along for the ride, its absurdity can be endearing.

Unfortunately, for all the photogenic Parisian trappings, the riverside tango and Eiffel Tower slapstick, the laborious jollity of the latest film from Fiona Gordon and Dominique Abel never takes flight.

It's as infuriating as it is inventive, as it Just... Never... Stops. It is Paris Through the Looking Glass.

Cruel comic mishaps may be this movie's raison d'être, but they are softened at every turn by the gentle humanity of the city's inhabitants, and by the unspoken sense that everything will turn out fine in the end.

"Lost in Paris" grows a bit tiresome at feature length, but it's a winning divertissement.

Lost in Paris is occasionally self-indulgent, although one could argue that's part of its charm.

An exercise in whimsicality that might leave Wes Anderson fatigued.
