Review of Midnight in Paris (2011) by Alexander N — 26 Aug 2013
Beautiful and charming. The movie captures Paris romantically, the art, the people, the golden era of the 20s. It's just plain wonderful and enchanting. It's not just make me fall in love with the city but also by the greatest people of the era portrayed here: Ernest Hemingway, F.
Scott Fitzgerald, Zelda Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso, T.S Eliot, Luis Buñuel, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri Matisse, and my most favorite character here, Salvador Dali (played by the amazing Adrien Brody).
Throughout the movie, I'm able to feel how it feels to be Gil (the main protagonist, an artsy 'romantic' American writer played by Owen Wilson), how he really loves Paris, how he really adores his new 'then-famous' friends (the writers, the painters, the poets, the artists) he met in the 20s in his 'time-getaway' every midnight, and how he loves the 20s.
I've watched some of Allen's ('Vicky, Christina, Barcelona' and 'Manhattan') and I can confidently say that Midnight in Paris is my Woody Allen's most favorite, or even, my most favorite romantic-comedy-fantasy movie by far.
