woody allen brings fantasy back to the big screen. midnight in paris follows gil (owen wilson) and fiance inez (rachel mcadams) as they explore the city of lights just before their wedding, alongside inez's parents. inez is all about being a tourist, while gil wants to immerse himself in the city. while inez discovers museums and historical sites, something else discovers gil- the past. at midnight in paris, gil's transported back in time to the era of f. scott fitzgerald, ernest hemingway, pablo picasso and gertrude stein. an aspiring writer, gil returns to the past every night. couple his disappearing act with an unexpected romance with adriana, a woman from the 20s, and gil and inez's world is turned upside down. allen's mastered the mix between comedy and drama, infusing midnight in paris with plenty of heart, laughs and meaning- it's a love-letter to the city and to the audience. midnight is a must-see, with standout performances from an all-star cast, including kathy bates, marion cotillard and michael sheen. even if you've never seen a woody allen movie (check out annie hall asap, though), make sure to see midnight in paris.
