Midnight in Paris (US/FR, 2011)

A magic realism taxi (yes) draws American screenwriter Gil deep into Paris' early C20 golden age, trotting out a predictable succession of its luminaries - Picasso, Hemmingway, Dali - inspiration surely for his upcoming novel...meanwhile his bride-to-be is unwilling to join in his late night city excursions, and they begin to grow apart.

Talked up as being one of his best and a strong return to form, this is fairly regular Woody Allen fare.
