That glimpse into a wonderful past!

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2017)

I am not a Woody Allen fan but have got to hand it to him for this - A film with Owen Wilson as the male lead that I found thought provoking? Come on that couldn't be right! But it is! I myself have often wished for that 24 hours back in 1976, just for one day and wondered how I would perceive it now as opposed to how I did back then, well, Midnight in Paris comes close to that reality for 'Gil' (Owen Wilson)and I found it captivating - I spent a lot of time in Paris in 1998/1999 and it was wonderful to see so many places I had spent time appearing in the film. If you are a romantic you are going to love Gil and 'Gil in Paris' - I am and I did - Gil saw Paris with his heart not his eyes - I am a musician and have found many places inspiring, I go to them often even if it's just to strum a few chords on the guitar, if you also pursue anything similar then you will love this movie - If you like to hear the Rhythm of Paris then I guarantee the opening and closing title music will haunt you!
