Keira Knightley is finally out of a corset, but at what cost? At the cost of starring in the fourth installment of an anthology film series we all forgot was still happening, apparently. The “Cities of Love” series kicked off to much buzz with the romantic 2006 filmParis, je t’aime, before heading to New York and Rio in subsequent years. And Berlin won’t be the last stop either, with the series producerEmmanuel Benbihyplanning further installments in Shanghai, Jerusalem, and Venice before heading to Delhi, Marseille, and New Orleans.
But at least this series has enough clout to get a star-studded cast like Knightley and Mirren, who star as a mother and daughter at odds over the daughter’s decision to help an apparently homeless little boy (Liam Gross). The cast is rounded out byMickey Rourke,Luke Wilson, Jenna Dewan, Diego Luna,Jim Sturgess, Nolan Funk, Charlotte Le Bon, Iwan Rheon,andDianna Agron.
Twelve directors contribute to the 10 segments about love and romance in the German city, includingFernando Eimbcke, Dennis Gansel, Massy Tadjedin, Peter Chelsom, Til Schweiger, Justin Franklin, Dani Levy,and Agron.The film is produced by Claus Clausen and Edda Reiser.
