Paris; the city of light, romance, and art. Gill Pender (Owen Wilson) and his fiance Inez (Rachel McAdams) join her parents' on a Parisian holiday. The majestic atmosphere
of the city fills Gill with abounding inspiration for the novel he's writing;which takes place in Paris in the 1920's. He loves it so much, that it fuels his desire to move to Paris after he and Inez are wed. Inez, on the other hand could care less and hopes that he goes back to writing for Hollywood instead. Her support in Gill is halfhearted. In fact she's so caught up in wedding plans and keeping up with her highbrow college friends that she downplays him every chance she gets.
One night, after a wine tasting, Gill forgoes the group's plans to go dancing and ventures off to explore Parisian nightlife. During his midnight stroll, he encounters a shiny vintage model car. Those who were inside, enticed Gill to join them for the ride of his life. He then runs away with his imagination and meets his literary and legendary heroes; F.Scott Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Josephine Baker, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, and even Earnest Hemingway! He even gets his manuscript proofread by Ms.Gertrude Stein! These nightly time warps help him to find true love and happiness with the right woman and finish his novel in the illuminated city of romance.
Although this is a recent film, it is destined to become a classic. Produced and directed by the legendary Woody Allen, this film with such a wonderful story and great cast comes alive in beautiful Paris,France (especially the night scenes). It also discusses a topic that each of us vintage lovers at one point or another deal with; thinking that our favorite past era is better than the one we're currently living in. He learns that each generation, past or future, is always going to think another era is beetter than the present one and that he should embrace his current surrounding while appreciating the days of old. Awesome,awesome film. My sister Meah kept hounding me to see it and now that I have, I sweetly hound you too! Au Revoire!
Love,
