New York I Love You!
Fall in love with NYC all over again
In theaters Oct. 16
New York, I Love You opens up with a quintessential New York moment. Two guys enter a cab from opposite doors. Guy #1 is telling the cabbie he’s going downtown. Guy #2 apologizes for hopping in the cab, but he’s heading in the same direction so suggests they share the cab. Guy#1 reluctantly agrees, while telling the cabbie to take the FDR Drive. Guy #2 says, no head down 2nd Avenue. As they argue back and forth, the cabbie says he’s going to take Bleeker Street, to which they both say no way. At that point, the cabbie who is still stopped by the curb, yells to them both “Get out of my cab.” You gotta love it.
This charming, and thoroughly delightful film interweaves 8 New York City stories and is beautifully filmed all over the City, by 11 directors. This is the second film in a series of collective feature films called “Cities of Love” conceived by producer Emmanuel Benbihy. The first was PARIS JE T’AIME and the next two will feature Rio and Shanghi.
How 11 Directors Shot One Film in 8 Weeks
Directors: Jiang Wen, Mira Nair, Shunji Iwai, Yvan Attal, Brett Ratner, Allen Hughes, Shekhar Kapur, Natalie Portman, Faith Akin, Joshua Marston, Randy Balsmeyer
Each director was given 2 days to shoot, and three rules:

3. No fades to black at the beginning or end of any segment.

Here are just a few of the New York stories we loved
Cloris Leachman and Eli Wallach on their 60th wedding anniversary, make their way slowly, stubbornly, proudly, down a Brooklyn sidewalk – all the way to the boardwalk at Brighton Beach and a moment of poignant bliss.
Julie Christie plays a former opera singer who checks into her favorite Manhattan hotel only to share a glass of champagne with her boyish bellhop -
Shia LaBeouf- and suddenly, through the veil of a curtained window, events play out that be real, imaginary or a heartrending tear in the fabric of time.
Two anquished lovers, Drea De Matteo and Bradley Cooper, speed towards one another across Manhattan to Greenwich Village – one by subway, the other by foot – as they try to figure out if their one night stand meant something before they meet for a second time.
