A wanna-be-artist time travels into 1920s while dealing with his current failing romance.

Rating: 4/10 (4 February 2012)

This is the height of solipsism! In the "extras" in the bluray, Woody Allen mentions in the Cannes interview something about this movie that gives a clue about why it is so lifeless and pretentious: he just wanted to show the beauty of the Paris in a movie and shoot a movie for that, story be damned! Why not just ask the Paris Tourist Bureau that he would do it for them at a discounted rate, so he can indulge into something he wanted to do in a proper context? I went to see this movie hoping that it would be as decent as Vicky Christina Barcelona, with Barcelona replaced by Paris and the rest of the charm intact. I was so wrong! Oh well, I am not repeating the story etc. here, as plenty of the reviewers did, but you are warned!
