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.
for those who have a thing against woody allen movies, this one is very un woody – i really enjoyed…..
I really loved this- if you like Paris or the art and literature of the Golden Days in Paris- bonus for you.
There’s still the classic “Woody” character- this time Owen Wilson takes on the role and some mid life neurosis and disintergrating relationship but its not the focus.
I’d highly recommend it.
So I’ve finally watched this film and really enjoyed it… template Woody Allen. Super interesting characters and very well acted… highly recommended.
