Midnight in Paris

Woody Allen's love note to Paris finally hits our shore. This movie is a win on so many levels! Impossible not to fall in love with Paris all over again. Smart, funny, meta and lotsa little jokes for the Lit & Art buffs ("pseudo-intellectual! Ha!). Most of all it has heart: Don't live in the past. Let go and live in the present. True Love is a respite from the fear of death!  Owen Wilson is a good fit for the naive Romantic American in France, and Marion Cotillard is luminating and alluring. Possibly Allen's most accessible film, and I can't wait for his ode to Rome next year!
