Midnight in Paris
Until now, the most mysterious aspect of midnight in Paris was that it was 3 pm in Los Angeles.
Nevertheless, this comedy offers an alternative abnormality associated with the witching hour.
When Gil (Owen Wilson), a scriptwriter from LA, vacations in Pairs with his fiancée (Rachel McAdams) and her parents, his longing for a bygone era is sated when he's transported to the 1920s, where his idols F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway edify him on the craft of writing, while Picasso's muse (Marion Cotillard) beguiles him with beauty.
Meanwhile, his soon-to-be in-laws hire a private detective to follow Gil on his nightly constitutionals.
Conceived by Woody Allan, Midnight in Paris is an amusing and unconventional love letter to The City of Light told by means of a neurotic time-traveller.
But as a writer, shouldn't you be travelling forward in time to plagiarize successful work that hasn't been published yet? (Green Light)
