Midnight in Paris (2011 Woody Allen & scr)

Still needing cheerfulness, Woody's love letter to Paris, despite our frequent visits, never tires and is all the more welcome with every passing act of terrorism.

Darius Khondji has his own very distinctive pallette - you could almost recognise his work from it - in this respect he reminds me of Otto Heller.

Rachel McAdams is the American girlfriend, Marion Cotillard the 1920s one, Léa Seydoux the antique dealer.

It's gorgeous.

The Pont Alexandre III

Features lovely track 'Si tu vois ma mère' by Woody's clarinet jazz hero Sidney Bechet; sensational guitar track 'Bistro Fada' by Stephane Wrembel; Cole Porter 'You Do Something' etc.
