Midnight in Paris

Midnight in Paris (2011) starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams. Directed by Woody Allen. American Gil Pender (Wilson), visiting Paris with his fiancee Inez(McAdams), magically (somehow) finds himself transported back in time, to '20s Paris, where he meets F. Scott Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Picasso ... the list goes on. Also, of course, he falls in love with a young woman from the '20s named Adriana. In essence, Wilson plays the Woody Allen role -- the role that Allen would have played himself when he was young. But there's more to this film than that. There are wheels within wheels, and the script is beautifully written. The subtitles supplied on the DVD are fine, and no closed captions are needed. Grade: A-
