I just watched MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (2011) in cinema
- and I loved it!
In a tiny nut-shell:
A aspiring writer stays for holidays in Paris - and finds himself all over sudden in the 1920s..
So, if you are a fan of..
.. the 1920s
.. the left bank scene in Paris - and always wanted to meet Dalí (Adrien Brody - he is marvellous.. as always..), Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald (Alison Pill & the wonderful Tom Hiddleston), Hemingway (Corey Stoll - amazing..), Gertrude Stein (Kathy Bates) and so many more.. for film buffs: Luis Buñuel (Adrien de Van) has two short appearances, too.. ;")
.. Paris
.. Marion Cotillard (you should be - she is wonderful!)
.. Owen Wilson
.. time travel plots
.. Woody Allen
- please watch this film!
Watch out for Carla Bruni - First Lady of France! - she plays a Museum Guide!
Have a look:
~ oh - and just by the way: Camille Claudel was Rodin's lover - NOT his wife. That actually was Rose.. ;") ~
Thank you all for listening!
Yours
(very well and) truly
Irene
~ who keeps amazingly still about the frequently wrong shaped eyebrows in period films.. ;"p ~
I just saw this too and although I know it paints a *completely* unrealistic picture of modern Paris, I thought it painted an equally *wonderful* picture of 1920s Paris. But I fear you've now wrecked watching films set in the past for me because now I'll be looking at everybody's eyebrows and thinking, "Hmmm...would Irene approve of those...?"
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie. Woody is back in form. It is amusing, romantic and beautifully filmed. What more could you ask?
ReplyDeleteMartin (hope you don't mind that I call you Martin? if so: Mr. Turnbull..)- I felt the same about the picturizing of Paris.. And I was completely into that 1920s Paris setting - hooked me immediately..
ReplyDeleteHope I didn't spoil films which are setted in the past because of this eyebrow thing for you.. - though I love that people might think of me.. vain little thing I am.. ;")
Exactly, FlickChick.. I for one couldn't get enough of the Paris in the past scenes..
Though Marion Cotillard's eyebrows.. ;"p Similar thing happend with me and Marion Cotillard in PUBLIC ENEMIES - wrong knickers!! scandalous! ;")
Thank you both for commenting! Love to have you here!
OK I can't wait to see this film. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about it Irene.
ReplyDeleteHope that you'll like it, too! And: You're welcome, Monty..
