The World According to Shorts presents a program of six notable French short films, featuring a broad range of styles and genres, from animation to fiction to documentary, reflecting the diversity of both the visions of contemporary French filmmakers and the people of France from foundry workers in Brest to Algerian immigrants transplanted to Paris; from the malaise of la vie quotidienne for an upper-class married couple to flirtatious youths in the capital's Metro system. The half-dozen short films gathered into this smart and lively omnibus could all easily survive as solid works on their own individual merits, but are fortunately being presented together in theatres under the World According to Shorts banner... -Chris Barsanti, Film Journal International. The World According to Shorts proves that great things often come in small packages.-V.A Musetto, New York Post. [My Mother: Story of an Immigration] is...like a tale told from long ago...immediate and beautiful.-James van Maanen, Greencine. Alice Winocour's Kitchen, about a neglected wife trying to make dinner, is the most accomplished of the bunch. It may not erase memories of Annie Hall, but it's the second-funniest use of lobsters I've seen. -Vadim Rizov, The Village Voice.
