Midnight in Paris resonated deeply with audiences because it validated a universal feeling while gently mocking it. It is both a celebration of the 1920s (the film is an act of love for the artists who shaped modern culture) and a critique of the very impulse to celebrate it. The film also serves as a subtle autobiography: Woody Allen has often spoken of his own nostalgia for the New York of his youth, and Gil’s struggle as a writer who wants to be taken seriously mirrors Allen’s own artistic anxieties.

Gil falls for Adriana (Marion Cotillard), a beautiful muse living in the 1920s who has loved Picasso and Modigliani. At first, Gil thinks he has found heaven. But then, he and Adriana take a carriage ride through another midnight—and they land in the 1890s (the Belle Époque). midnight in. paris
