Midnight in Paris (!:34) 2011

Owen Wilson is Gil, a screenwriter who is visiting Paris with his fiancee. He would like to live in Paris and finish his novel but Inez wants to settle in Malibu. When Inez goes with her friends dancing, Gil begs off saying he wants to walk the city. At the stroke of midnight, an antique car pulls up and the party goers offer him a ride. When they enter a nightclub, Gil meets Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Cole Porter and a host of famous people. Gil realizes he has been transported back to the 1920s which he considers the golden age of Paris. During the day he returns to the hotel and his life with Inez. Each night he returns to the 1920s and continues to party with Hemingway, Dali and other famous artists and writers of that time. Gil also falls for Adriana, played by Marion Cotillard. Gil must comes to terms with living in the present or living in the past. Midnight in Paris is a typical Woody Allen movie, and Allen at his best. The film contains many shots in and around Paris, both during the day and at night. The soundtrack adds to the movie experience. To great delight, Wilson delivers lines in a typical Woody Allen fashion. This was a treat. If you are a fan of Allen's movie and/or enjoy a clever romantic comedy, transport yourself to the nearest theater.
