Midnight in Paris, what a charming movie. The Dali scene 
Made me wanna watch an old movie called the exterminating angel by Bunuel, due a joke in the film.
Also Lea Seydoux

Trying to get hold of the one I mentionned and Viridiana due to an article I read. Will stop by the library, seems like the kind of films they should have.
What do you think of the wonderfully charming Midnight in Paris? I assume the fantasy and premise itself would be a dream for hipsters/nostalgics, even if may not be your favourite era.
Fantastic casting for most of them hehe
Beyond brilliant casting on this

I'm not really a fan of Woody Allen. He's done some alright films... but most are not my cup o' tea.
However, Midnight in Paris was a lot of fun, and much more "charming" (as you say) than his other work which for the most part is distinctly lacking in charm. He didn't try to go crazy-quirky in this one, and it saved the film in my opinion. Great cast too. Loved the depictions of Hemingway, Dali, Stein, and the Fitzgeralds. And Owen Wilson was tailor-made for that role. He seems so genuine and earnest in it.

1000% agreed. I like this film the most of his work (besides match point that was fairly decent) because it wasnt self-indulgent and neurotic mess that most tend to be. Just a genuinly understated comedy about a city and someone getting lost in dreaming of better times (good lesson at the end to realize how we tend to gloss over the bad things of bygone eras). Very charming scenes with Hemingway and how insufferably horrible his fiancee was (never wanted to bitchslap Rachel McAdams in a movie until this one), and how he was so casual in accepting her ways was a hoot.
Yeah he was perfect (Michael) for the insufferably pompous know it all. I laughed hard in one scene, cuz he reminded me so much of one of my old professors we used to get drunk on occasion and deliberately say the most inane things just to trigger his shouting sermons over the most pedantic posering BS (that has nothing to do with his field of expertise). You would get this reaction exactly but much louder if you corrected on him any random thing:

First three pictures from Malick's documentary Voyage of Time. I immediately get a Nostalgia de la luz vibe.

Hopefully it's not a huge disappointed. Consdiering the topic I'd say it's something Malick would do amazing. Then again... documentary? Weird.
I think it was pretty tough to make something fun to watch for an average Joe considering the dry topic. They did a good job.
