Midnight in Paris(2011)- User Reviews

"Midnight In Paris" is brilliant! This is how the story goes: Gil and Inez travel to Paris as a tag-along vacation on her parents' business trip. Gil is a successful Hollywood writer but is struggling on his first novel. He falls in love with the city and thinks they should move there after they get married, but Inez does not share his romantic notions of the city or the idea that the 1920s was the golden age. When Inez goes off dancing with her friends, Gil takes a walk at midnight and discovers what could be the ultimate source of inspiration for writing. Gil's daily walks at midnight in Paris could take him closer to the heart of the city but further from the woman he's about to marry.

The cast led by Owen Wilson (as Gil) & Rachel McAdams (as Inez) is excellent. The directing, the story and screenplay by Woody Allen is brilliant.

The cinematography by Darius Khondji is excellent. The film editing by Alisa Lepselter is excellent. The casting by Juliet Taylor is excellent. The production design & art direction by Anne Seibel is excellent. The set decoration by Helene Dubreuil is excellent. The costume design by Sonia Grande is excellent.

This is a brilliant film that is well-made and well-written. This is also well-crafted, well-executed and entertaining. This is a film that is different from most or all the films that have been made or have come out this year, so far. This is one of Woody Allen's best films, if not, his best film of his career. This is also one of the best films of the year and of the summer.
