Midnight in Paris

Nocturnal Parisian reverie

Midnight in Paris is a 2011 Woody Allen film in which a nostalgic writer visiting Paris is transported nightly to the 1920s, mingling with Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Picasso.

The title has come to evoke romantic longing for a golden age that may never have existed: He's living in his own Midnight in Paris, convinced everything was better before.
