Latest Updates - Woody Allen

Comment by Magic Marmalade:

This is quite a charming, evocative little movie about a somewhat lost Hollywood movie producer who is in Paris with his Fiancé and her gruff, snobbish parents, none of whom share his enchantment with the city, and leave him to go wandering the streets at night, where as the clock strikes midnight, sends him back in time to 1920s Paris, where he meets F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemmingway, Picasso, and others, and begins to fall for a lovely socialite form that time, who herself, dreams of a bygone era, not her own.

There are some pretty broad depictions of literary and artistic figures form history, but I think that's the point, in portraying them as more modern mythologising of them has bequeathed them to us as merely ideas, and icons, and the whole movie is about romanticising the past and dealing with the nostalgia for a time you never personally knew, in order to escape the realities of a less than satisfactory present.

Quite magical, charming, and warm, and is quite easy on the "Woody Allen-ness", which gives it a nice light wit.
