“LOST IN PARIS does for slapstick what LA LA LAND does for musicals… Resurrecting the spirit of classic slapstick… mining territory ranging from Charlie Chaplin to Jacques Tati”
– Indiewire

“Always inventive… defiantly marching to a different drummer than anyone else at the moment…”
– The Hollywood Reporter

“A comedy of the absurd that’s always entertaining”
– Wall Street Journal

Filmed in Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon’s signature whimsical style, LOST IN PARIS stars the filmmakers as a small-town Canadian librarian and a strangely seductive, oddly egotistical vagabond. When Fiona’s (Gordon) orderly life is disrupted by a letter of distress from her 88-year-old Aunt Martha (delightfully portrayed by Academy Award®-nominee Emmanuelle Riva) who is living in Paris, Fiona hops on the first plane she can and arrives only to discover that Martha has disappeared. In an avalanche of spectacular disasters, she encounters Dom (Abel), the affable, but annoying tramp who just won’t leave her alone. Replete with the amazing antics and intricately choreographed slapstick that has come to define their work, this film is a wondrously fun and hectic tale of peculiar people finding love while lost in the City of Lights.
