In 2020 (the year we need to dream), he entered our homes as an American who landed in Paris, dealt with culture shock, wore over-the-top clothes, and exhibited a naivety that was both endearing and annoying. Despite playing in an uncomplicated, sometimes caricatured and cliché-filled plot, he managed to captivate us from the very first minute. Because even though there are still those who say they haven’t seen He will never see ‘Emily in Paris’ either, There are a number of people (also men) who do this and admit it. Darren Star (creator of ‘Sex and the City’)who’s? the fourth and perhaps the first part of the last season Premieres Netflix this Thursday, the 15th (the second one will be released on September 12th) it’s addictive.
New life and loves
For those who don’t know yet, in summary ‘Emily in Paris’ tells what the young woman in the title (played by) is like. Lili Collins, daughter of musician Phil) arrives at the marketing agency in Paris that has just merged with the marketing agency in America where he works, where he comes face to face with his own way of doing and living his business (very French, very far from the ‘American way of life’). with our colleagues and above all boss, Sylvie (Filipino Leroy-Beaulieu)This film takes the stereotypical rivalry between over-50s and young girls to the extreme (although the actress claims that this is not the case).
But in the three seasons that Netflix has already released, we have seen how the young woman’s determination, talent (bringing new ideas to run innovative campaigns and her ability to manage networks) and resilience in the face of constant humiliation lead to success. They will make you find your place and be accepted. And I was also loved by two friends, Camille (Camille Razat)an unpretentious girl from a good family and Mindy (Asley Park) A crazy young Chinese woman who wanted to be successful as a singer. And of course she was loved. By the chief Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) – a love that is impossible at first, that “yes but no” kind of love, because he is her friend’s boyfriend – and other suitors will come to her, just like the charming girl. Alfie (Lucien Laviscount).
We will meet in new episodes Emily, At the end of the third season, she said that she decided to bet her love for the chef, but he turned her down when he found out that his girlfriend was pregnant. And he knows about her infidelity. Things will get even more complicated when she meets Alfie, who is in the middle of this love triangle. We will also find out if Mindy will be able to compete in Eurovision. Sylvie, shaken by a problem from the past, I will find love again. But if tan comes first Emily and Gabriel’s ‘happy ending’ was expected.
Likewise, the young woman will flee to Italy, so if Collins can appear as a 21st-century Audrey Herbun, her character walking across the country next door could also be a figment of her imagination. Greetings to ‘Roman Holiday’A film starring the actress of ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ in the late 1950s. Italian scripts will also give rise to new characters. Raoul Bova (father of ‘Good morning mom’ on Antena 3) and Eugenio Franceschini, and Rupert Everett another one of the signatures (all attractive of course).
Four keys to your success
Those who hate the series may respond that it’s because of the guilt that watching it for seasons has given some (but they do watch it), or because others have surrendered to its charms without regret (though perhaps less so in the third season). There are four reasons:
This is a comedy romantic archetypal situation, full Clichés (especially the first season, which portrays Parisians as snobbish and lazy beings, Sylvie, Emily’s boss and villain As a clear example of the series, it’s perfectly shabby and deeply sincere, although it’s later softened into typical American caricature. Madeline (Kate Walsh), the other villainThis is an example of a modern story) and simple plot. The romance that the fiction spreads leads to quite platonic relationships (and when they are lustful, they are just enough) and reflective aspirational reality It makes us believe in the unbelievable situations like Mindy not being able to make rent and wearing big brands (something that happened to Emily too). The boys who surround her and flirt with her handsome like prince charming (and there is no meanness) and his clothes are very careful. The plot has well-known references: His boss is as hateful as the villain Miranda Priestleyrelated to ‘The devil wears Prada‘ and fashion designer Pierre Cadeult Sounds like Pierre Carden but his designs are inspired by Balenciaga.
Emily is cute but quite pure and positive (a bit of a gem) and stands in stark contrast to the protagonists of the new current series (although in the first season, the young woman leaves her building without electricity while trying to plug in her Satisfayer on a lonely night). empathy and loyalty She makes Gabriel give up his love in order not to betray his friend, and her resilience in the face of criticism and scorn makes her a charismatic presence that the other characters and the audience will adore (if you don’t think so, why don’t you?) and keep watching her?) There are other examples of Americans in Paris in cinema and TV series (not forgetting literature), such as ‘April in Paris (with Doris Day in 1952),’‘An angelic face’ (Audrey Herbun, 1975)short ‘Hotel Chevalier’ (Natalie Portman, 2007), film ‘Julie and Julia’ (Meryl Streep, 2009) and the series ‘The Eddie’ (Amandla Stenberg, 2020). Even the character Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) in ‘Sex and the City’ spends a few days in Paris. But this is Emily’s time.
Although Emily arrives in Paris with a few suitcases to temporarily replace her American boss, she soon adopts a new family. The most exaggerated ‘French look’ This will make each of you coming to the office, walking with friends or meeting a parade of trends that are very difficult to follow and provoke the desire to imitate. The clothes she wears from big brands channel and Dior’s we created a trend On Instagram, there are fan accounts (emilyinparisoutfit, emilyinparisoutfits) that give tips about the brand and price (nor Zara and H&M clothes are missing) or similar and TikTok is full of spontaneous people wearing Shein clothes (with very little luck) to achieve the ‘Emily look’. Special mentionas a beret (sales doubled in the first season), not forgettingFisherman’s hats (glamour version) and accessories. Camille’s sweet and more classic looks, Mindy’s extremely sexy looks and Sylvie’s extremely chic designs also meet their followers.
Paris has never gone out of fashion and is visited by millions of tourists every year, but the locations where the series takes place have now become a place of old fashion. a place of pilgrimage for fiction fans. To begin with, Boulangerie ModerneA delicious patisserie in the 5th arrondissement where people line up to order a single item: Emily’s favorite ‘pain au chocolat’. A few steps away is Gabriel’s charming restaurant, whose name actually Serving Terra Nera and Italian cuisine.in the square Place de l’Estrapade The building stands where Emily’s penthouse overlooks the top floor. Neighbors have become accustomed to fans taking photos in front of their doors. But it’s not just her neighborhood that carries Emily’s essence. Other well-known landmarks include the Eiffel Tower, the Opera Garnier, the exclusive Saint Germain des Prés district, the Palais-Royal Garden, and the Royal Palace. The charming corner of Dalila Square (dedicated to the singer) overlooking the Sacre Coeur, they are very ‘instagrammable’ locations for Emily and her legion of fans eager to discover the amazing models and locations this (last?) season will bring.
