Midnight in Paris (Woody Allen, 2011)

[cahiers_du_2006]

I said I wished living in Ottawa when a new Woody Allen film would net about 3 other moviegoers. This one was sold out the afternoon of it's opening weekend. All showings, bad reviews be damned. The following week - for the first time ever for a non-festival show - I went online and purchased advanced tickets the day of. And I still ended up stuck

The film (MIP) is one of the realized products of Woody Allen type of cinema-witty and wistful. Such films are generally a frantic description of a slice of time in the lives of the protagonists, who are perpetually bewildered and slightly dissatisfied practitioners of intellectual professions like writing, painting or acting. During that slice of time these protagonist undergo an even more heightened level of bewilderment and dissatisfaction. This makes a Woody Allen film a jaunty ride of gentle wit, fluent intellect and rising confusion.
