Sidney Bechet: Si tu vois ma mère

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2019)

Midnight in Paris is yet another classic film by Woody Allen. It is a romantic comedy about a couple (Owen Wilson as Gil, and Rachel McAdams as Inez) who go for a family vacation in Paris, and the twist and turns of Gil's subconscious in a fantasy world filled with all his muse as a writer. The screenplay of this movie is top-notch. It was not surprising this film won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
The screenplay solidifies the writing prowess of Woody.
Owen Wilson was perfect for the role with all his poetic "bubbling", and there was such great chemistry between him and Rachel McAdams. The ensemble cast was marvelous, and immensely contributed to the beauty of this film. The score and soundtrack captured the mood and scenes perfectly, producing a positive synergistic effect.
I think this film serves as a tribute to veteran writers like; Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein etc.
Paris as a city is literally everyone's dream city to visit or stay, and Woody does a phenomenal job letting the audience experience midnight in Paris. Midnight in Paris, is not just a great film, but a true masterpiece.
