Midnight in Paris

Director: Woody Allen

Rating 10/10

Disclaimer: For those who hate Woody Allen and think his movies are worse that the Cruciatus Curse,NO, it is NOT a typical Woody Allen movie! 

Coming directly to the story: What would you do if you had a chance to travel back in time? Who would you like to meet? And more importantly, what would you like to be? 

Meet Gil Pender, a screenwriter, who, while on a trip to Paris with his fiancée and her family, wanders around the streets of Paris, craving to go back to the Paris of Jazz Age, where his favourite people like the Fitzgeralds, Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, Salvador Dali, Picasso and Cole Porter thrived. Little does he know that his wish actually will come true on a taxi ride at midnight which will take him back to the 1920s every night as the clock strikes 12. As he attends the Jazz Age parties, listens to the quirky obsession that Dali has for rhinoceros and falls in love with the charming Adriana, who is Picasso's Muse, Gil discovers that the best time to exist is when you do and that as a rule man is a fool and always wants what is not!

Deep, poetic and absolutely magical, Midnight in Paris, is that rare gem of artistic merit in which good music, good literature, poetry, art and storytelling combine to make an inexplicably brilliant, too-good-for-words movie, which simply cannot be missed.

No parental guidance required really but you need to be well-read and of an artistic bent of mind to enjoy this movie.
