Woody Allen’s 2011 American-Spanish comedy follows screenwriter Gil Pender on a trip to Paris with his fiancée and her parents as he travels back in time each evening at midnight. Gil is gradually forced to confront the shortcomings of his relationship with his materialistic fiancée and their divergent goals. Meeting an array of colourful characters living in Paris in the nineteenth century, including a brief encounter with Edgar Degas, Midnight in Paris explores the themes of nostalgia and modernism and asks ’when was the true Golden Age?’.
The screening will include an introduction by Dr Neda Chepinchikj, The University of Melbourne.
