Tuileries: A Short, Slightly Twisted Film by Joel and Ethan Coen

They call Paris the City of Love. It’s also the birth­place of the Mar­quis de Sade. Behind the roman­tic post­card facade, there’s some­thing a bit more com­pli­cat­ed going on. In Tui­leries, a short film by Joel and Ethan Coen from the 2006 anthol­o­gy, Paris Je T’Aime, Steve Busce­mi plays a mild-man­nered tourist caught com­plete­ly out of his ele­ment. What tran­spires is a rather bizarre five-minute cul­tur­al les­son they won’t teach you at Berlitz. It’s now added to our col­lec­tion, 4,000+ Free Movies Online: Great Clas­sics, Indies, Noir, West­erns, Doc­u­men­taries & More.

    So appar­ent­ly the Cohen broth­ers are sadis­tic as well. Why was that crap worth pro­duc­ing

    Merde? Merde? C’est quoi ce bor­del que tu racon­tes trou du cul?!

    Steve Busce­mi is sim­ply the best and that was evi­dent from day 1!! Huge fan over here in Cana­da :)

    “It’s now added to our col­lec­tion, 725 Free Movies Online…”

    Unfor­tu­nate­ly “free” some­times means “only watch­able in the US” — as in this case. In an anti-open-cul­ture kin­da way.

    (Not blam­ing Open­Cul­ture obvi­ous­ly — love the site.)

    Well it’s twist­ed but in a twist­ed sort of way.
