A movable feast

摘要

NOSTALGIA isn't what it used to be in "Midnight in Paris", and neither is Paris. During the musical montage of city scenes at the beginning of Woody Allen's new film there are more cars than people in most of the shots. When the francophile hero, Gil Spender (Owen Wilson: superb), reminds his future mother-inlaw that Ernest Hemingway called Paris in the 1920s a "movable feast", she grumbles: "With this traffic, nothing can move." Gil is visiting the City of Lights with Inez (Rachel McAdams, below), his bride-to-be, and her obnoxious parents.
