Place des Victoires

Japanese director Nobuhiro Suwa helms this poignant and heart-rending short subject, which represents his contribution to the omnibus film Paris, je t'aime. The episode concerns a Parisian mother (Juliette Binoche) devastated by the loss of her young son, who receives an unusual form of consolation from a cowboy on horseback (Willem Dafoe). Other directors who contributed to Paris, je t'aime include Olivier Assayas and Vincenzo Natali.
