Midnight in Paris

CFF-12A certification
MAIN FEATURES / UK PREMIERE
Spain, USA, 2011. 100 mins. English
In this romantic fantasy adventure Woody Allen indulges his passion for France's capital amid an exploration of the fallacy of nostalgia. When wealthy Hollywood scriptwriter Gil (Wilson) and fiancé Inez (McAdams) join Inez' parents on a trip to Paris, Gil is entranced by his idealised view of the city's bygone days and becomes increasingly distanced from the rest of the party. While on a solitary midnight stroll Gil is picked up by mysterious revellers and is transported through time to the golden age he dreams of, and in which he meets artistic greats such as Hemingway, Picasso, TS Eliot, and Adriana (Cotillard), Picasso's beautiful mistress. In her, and in her era, Gil finds a new source of inspiration and passion, but it appears that Adriana is suffering from a similar sense of disenchantment with her own time.
