Woody Allen's ultimate masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2012)

I really didn't expect that 80 years old Woody after 40+ movies would be able to produce something like this, but he did. Without any question - Midnight In Paris IS the best piece of his entire catalog (and yes I've seen them all). I never even liked Woody's movies that much since they were mostly the same funny/relationship clones (with a few beautiful exceptions like Cassandra's Dream), but with this one he topped himself, everything went right - smart and funny story, beautiful Paris locations, great music, precise actors and magic concept. If you are an artist, or at least you love art and you're a romantic soul you're gonna LOVE this. I'm not surprised by all the awards and by the fact that this became by far his commercially most successful film because it's all so alluring, you can watch this over and over without getting bored. Some of the scenes like the first meeting with Hemmingway, or the dialog with surreal guys are absolutely priceless. Bravo Woody, as Gertrude Stein would say in this movie - If you're gonna keep on making films like this, you will have something of value! 10/10
