MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (BLU-RAY) -

Writers history set in Paris. A light hearted romantic comedy with Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams.

An entertaining film for anyone who likes Paris and the arts. Also a lovely variety of fashion as the viewer is transported back in time. Cleverly done and well cast. Some of the artists were very convincing.

Very enjoyable

Well acted

Fun film with interesting charactersWish Owen Wilson was more animated!

Great movie with great actors.

Just finished watching this film on blu-ray. Woody Allen often bemoans the film-making process, stating that he starts out with the most promising idea, but in the business of making the film, the original intention can be lost in translation, to use a familiar phrase. The mechanics and nature of the business somehow get in the way and the original conception of the screenplay, and what Woody has envisaged is not fully realised. He surely cannot say that about this film. A distillation of nearly fifty years' film-making experience makes this film almost perfect. Often one gets to the middle or end of a film and finds it is somehow unsatisfying, doesn't make sense, is irrelevant, boring or whatever (yes, even Woody Allen films, and I'm a fan!). This film with its perfect synchronisation of plot, concept, style, and characterisation (as evidenced in its visuals and dialogue) fits together like a swiss clock. Naff thing to say but true. This film actually IS Woody Allen. If you like Woody you are in for a treat (and a treatise on the joys of nostalgia and yet how it relates to our choices and how we can live in the present) and a perfect ninety minutes of happiness. I won't spoil it, but a writer can take you anywhere. And he does. A hoot!

great entertainment
