"Midnight in Paris" is a romantic comedy film which is written and directed by Woody Allen. It tells the story of a successful but creatively unfulfilled Hollywood screenwriter, Gil Pender, and his bride, Inez, who are on vacation in Paris with the conservative parents of the fiancée. So while Gil is doing his utmost to finish his first novel, which is about a man working in a nostalgia shop, Inez rejects his ambition as a romantic daydream and emboldens him to stick with the more gainful screenwriting. Their divergent purposes become increasingly excessive as he travels back in time each night at midnight. During his trips Gil meets lots of eminent people from last century like Cole Porter, Alice B. Toklas, Josephine Baker, Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and others.
