Anyone who has read this site for any extended length of time should be well aware of my deep love for Woody Allen films. The man is a titan and has written and directed about a movie a year for the last 40 years. He’s incredibly prolific and he hits way more often than he misses. And even his misses have a lot to love about them.
This new trailer for Midnight in Paris, starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, Michael Sheen, and Adrien Brody (among others) has a very old-school Woody Allen. It kind of felt like a vibe somewhere between Manhattan, with Owen Wilson in the Woody Allen sort of part, and something like The Purple Rose of Cairo, with just a hint of something fantastical.
For the most part, I’ve enjoyed Woody Allen’s forays into Europe and I am quite excited to see this latest effort. It’s set for release on May 20th, and I’m positive I’ll take a break from seeing Thor to catch this picture.
