Midnight in Paris is a very unselfish and lovely approach to inspiration, love, and the written word. A must watch.

This combination of whimsy and romance is, for me, much more successful than Allen's previous European city film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Jan 18, 2014More emotionally nostalgic than intellectually provoking or psychologically challenging, Woody continues his recent task to visit European cities and display his vast mental cultural library to the audience with yet another charming excuse. This time, he grabs Paris, a city that has been used so many times in celluloid that it already sounds cliché... unless it is given the Woody Allen treatment. The feature is an immediate charmer and has the capacity of attracting a wider audience than his regular target market. Even if the viewer requires a very basic knowledge on literature, architecture, cinema and painting to catch the numerous nods to the art forms of the first half of the 19th Century (cheers for the inclusion of Gauguin and Matisse), Midnight in Paris, unlike most of the previous cases, does not demand a prior familiarization with the director's character trademarks and nostalgic love letters to breathing and living cities and to the great minds of the past era that intellectually shaped contemporary society, even if those are patterns still seen here. On the contrary, the simplicity of the usage of fantasy mirrors Almodóvar's Volver (2006): elegant and funny, but subtle. The opening sequence could mean two things: the farewell of a great director, or a promise of even greater things to come during the following 90 minutes. Both assumptions turned out to be wrong. The force of the introduction had the same charisma that the one in Manhattan (1979), but it was more peaceful and had less energy. So, we were led to think that the intentions of the film were simpler then, but still with a scope large enough to capture a city and its important artistic figures. Well, in this case, not quite... Analyzing the final product and comparing it with Woody Allen's entire trajectory, the film plays it safe, with a horrible miscast in the leading role, but with a very simple story easy to fall in love with, even if it is not, like stated in the beginning of this review, something revolutionary. Nevertheless, knowing that Woody is still capable of applying the same heart he has done before without losing his film signature is something that us, fans, find valuable. 71/100Edgar C Super Reviewer

Midnight in Paris Quotes
| Ernest: | I believe that love that is true and real, creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving or not loving well, which is the same thing. And then the man who is brave and true looks death squarely in the face, like some rhino-hunters I know or Belmonte, who is truly brave... It is because they make love with sufficient passion, to push death out of their minds... until it returns, as it does, to all men... and then you must make really good love again. |
| Paul: | Nostalgia is denial - denial of the painful present... the name for this denial is golden age thinking - the erroneous notion that a different time period is better than the one ones living in - its a flaw in the romantic imagination of those people who find it difficult to cope with the present. |
| Gil: | Adriana, if you stay here though, and this becomes your present then pretty soon you'll start imagining another time was really your... You know, was really the golden time. Yeah, that's what the present is. It's a little unsatisfying because life's a little unsatisfying. |
| Gert: | The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence. |
