Paris Just Became More Homey
Sunday, July 16, 2006 at 12:51 A screenwriter I met at a DreamAgo lunch recently turned me on to Videosphere. This is the place I've been looking for!
Video rental shops in Paris are generally understocked, expensive, and limited to overnight rentals. If you can't find what you need in your neighborhood, you have to plan your movie-watching on days when you have time to ride the metros back and forth.
What place is worth that much trouble? Videosphere! It has the best vintage film collection in town and a weekend rental rate. You can pick up three films on Friday and keep them until Monday. And the best part? A downloadable catalogue. True, it's a difficult to navigate Excel file, and I hate it. But--and for this I fall on my knees in gratitude--it gives both the original and French titles of films. No more head-scratching as I try to find a film in a French shop. Hallelujah!
Doesn't sound like anything to write home about? Huh, goes to show how spoiled you are!
