with French accordion music I watched Midnight in Paris

La Belle Epoque... Flappers, 20's... Zelda and Scott, Hemingway... Picasso...Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Micheal Sheen, Marion Cotillard, Kathy Bates, Carla Bruni....





I actually never seen a Woody Allen film... or have I? Well I do not know I'm a girl I care about dresses and actors... and antique market... and Paris. I have not been... still .. damn you the passport.

It is a story about magical Paris, about lost and found... and how we can never be satisfied with time we live in. One of my friend referred to this film as "Oh you are a wonderful magician, Woody Allen". It is a rather wonderful film. I think it is mainly about this sad uncertain man fining himself. Aren't all Mr. Allen's films about this same character? Or am I being influenced about other people's opinions?

Owen Wilson, he did one confused writer very well. He has this confused look about him I guess, that is way he was in the end so perfect for the role of Gill.

The film did give that feeling about Paris, that it is a magical place, where you fall in love, take your other half to propose and so on. It was made almost as magical as Amelie's Paris.

But it is a very magical film beautifully done. And so very anti american. Actually funny and so wrong sometimes how they were portrayed. 

This film is not very long, and a very very good time pass. I would say it might have got on to my favorite film  list. I am only sad that I did not get to see it on the big screen.

Mind you this film came just in time with this great flapper trend! Oh Gucci


Now I wonder what came 1st trend or the popularity of the trend. I feel sudden urge to go shop for a swell party dress... while drinking gin or champagne!
