This is one of the very finest films from Woody Allen - the director must have been truly inspired by Paris from the bygone age with the great artists, philosophers, song writers, writers....it is ingenious and mysterious of how the story will flip back into the past and unravel a story with snippets of information.....
Owen Wilson stars, and by gum -he is well cast, along with a troupe of actors -admirably suitable and brilliantly portrayed in character to the illustrious famous.
I love this film set in Paris...a favourite of mine because one of my best friends was a French lady- 'Christiane Vouloir' ( -had she still been with us now ) -she would have adored this film? The lady herself had lived most of her life in Paris; her father George introduced Christiane to cafe society in 1946 at the tender age of 6 years....her father particularly asked her to remember Jean Cocteau: I think this is why I am so endeared to this film -the French way of life that conjured magic and freedom?
'Midnight in Paris' is a film very much full of fun and nostalgia - Owen Wilson's character is enchanted to the magic that will follow him....the present to the past is very surreal: The film itself is beautiful; present in portrayal of pictures, paintings - and thoughts - and writing, of course...the passion of life and love ...hope you enjoy the film -it is a merry carousel in the funfair of life?
Some critics may abhor this style of past reflection that is compressed into fun -without the reality of struggles to succeed in life....but after all, this is a film that is remarkable in magic -and should be dedicated to Parisian lovers.
Ha! I am happy to have deleted my original review, to have now revised in truthful inspiration of what I had originally found difficult to express in the first place?
Again, one of my favourite films.... I highly recommend!
