Midnight in Paris is for me, one the best films that Woody Allen has produced in a long time. The crux of the film encapsulates the need to find escape from unhappy situations and for our protagonist writer, the thought of a superficial existence in Hollywood...leads him to escape into a wonderful fantasy. Amazingly, the step from reality into fantasy is not to difficult after the first car... ride, as it is easy to join in as we meet the talented, the beautiful & charismatic. The production values of this film are overwhelmingly wonderful. Allen's mark as a director is very much on the American family , whilst the other actors seem to have a freedom to improvise. One for the girlz move over Heathcliff ..Hemingway is here..lordy ..lordy
