Midnight in Paris (2011)
Midnight in Paris (2011) is a fantasy comedy film written and directed by Woody Allen. Disillusioned screenwriter Gil Pender and his fiancée Inez, along with her affluent parents, take a vacation in Paris in 2010. Gil, working on his debut novel about a man in a nostalgia shop, becomes enamored with the artistic history of the city, specifically the Lost Generation of the 1920s. He dreams of making a permanent move there, but Inez dismisses his desires. During their trip, they meet Inez’s friend Paul and his wife Carol. Paul confidently discusses French history, much to Gil’s annoyance but Inez’s admiration. After indulging in some wine tasting, Gil decides to walk back to their hotel while Inez joins Paul and Carol in a taxi. As midnight approaches, an antique car appears and transports Gil to a party for Jean Cocteau attended by other prominent figures from the 1920s art scene in Paris.
Zelda Fitzgerald, feeling restless, convinces her husband Scott and their friend Gil to join her on a trip to a cafe. There, they unexpectedly run into renowned writer Ernest Hemingway and famed bullfighter Juan Belmonte. Shortly after Zelda and Scott depart, Gil and Hemingway engage in conversation about writing. Impressed by Gil’s work, Hemingway offers to introduce it to Gertrude Stein. As Gil rushes off to retrieve his manuscript, he suddenly finds himself back in 2010; the once-vibrant cafe has been replaced by a mundane laundromat. Determined to relive the experience, Gil attempts to bring Inez along the following night but she leaves before midnight. Returning to the 1920s, Gil joins Hemingway as they visit Stein who critiques Pablo Picasso’s latest painting of his lover Adriana.
