Abstract
I met my friends the filmmaker Craig Brewer and his wife, designer Jodi Brewer, at the Hotel Athenée, a posh affair in Paris’ 8th arrondissement, situated between the Champs Elysées and the Right Bank of the Seine with views of the Eiffel Tower. It was a cool November weekend in 2005 and my wife and I drove from Luxembourg City to see them while they promoted the breakthrough film Hustle and Flow for Paramount Studios.
