Latest work of Woody Allen, who won a screenplay award of this year's Academy Awards. Of course, just because you won the Academy Award, also attended without any reason to be speech of joy, of course Allen supervision of absence.
Well, Allen to jump out the authentic NY, London, Barcelona, ​​and has come out on a journey of Europe wandering shooting. People of roots that gather in the melting pot serving NY or as of the time of the 1920s, "An American in Paris",, what I wanted to traced on their own the relationship of the NY⇄ Paris (Europe) again. . . Or what had come saturated in NY or, or for going demise in NY with a final empirically thickness by taking the Europe. . .

Now. Episode during this movie premarital trip to Paris and the hottest drama playwright Gil of Hollywood, as much as possible Ynez to his wife, and with her parents. Gill us but living there is no economic what complaint to that living in a mansion with a pool in Ha Riuddo, full of frustration to work basis. I have revered the Paris of Joyce and Hemingway in the 1920s as a god. And live in Paris if possible, you want to make a fresh start as a novelist, a sense dreamer that harbor such a dream. Actual novels currently writing in the master of the "Nosutaru Jihausu" hero. The nostalgia House collected the dollhouse and old stamps and coins, the shop that sells.

Then one night, but I try to go home to the hotel to walk alone, and are standing in the Passage and the back streets of Paris will astray, multiplied by the voice to drunk group ride on a single classic car along with the bell of 24:00 , to phrase the party venue. . . So met people Fitzgerald and his wife, the Cole Porter's playing the piano to the sweet singing voice both and what Jean Cocteau are you hosted the party,! ! ! We had a time slip to the 1920s of longing of Paris. It is there and also moved to know not the next bar translation and residence is Hemingway that worship, to be discuss in the tete-a-tete. . .

Not give me a course credit telling Ynez to the next day, but she is also to take her to the Paris of the 1920s, and while she is there is the classic car will not come. . .
And now painter of Picasso and writers / critics of Gertrude Stein, Dali, Buñuel, would met with Man Ray and incredibly beautiful woman Adriana. And fall in love.

Gill give out the "boring the current 2010. 1920s're the Golden Age!". And artists of the 20's, the "now of age is not boring, what era of the Belle Epoque of the 1890s is the Golden Age!". And Adriana and Gil is now is a time slip to Paris Moulin Rouge of the 1890s Mau. Where Lautrec and Gauguin, and such as Degas is home, they are "not boring now of age. Renaissance is what's Golden Age," he said.

Allen is always human beings "was good old days. Upon a time is not now. Somewhere. Not here" yearn specific sentiment, but always as wanted to say that there exists in the human mind.
Paris in an interview has been drawn due to a lot of people up to now. But this time was Mise painted Paris in a different with anyone, "Allen flow", and.

This movie is depicted as the story of "special" to travel the seemingly crazy SF amount of time, in fact, might not be a never "special".

Time as certain assumptions are "past", "present", "future" and not intended to temporarily flowing in a straight line, if the three are always present in the side-by-side. . . "Current" taking in "the past" are those that have passed away in full, "the future" is not one that does not yet come, they are but if we were co-exist as a parallel world. . . Man of "current" can revive any number of times "past", it is possible to rescue. And human beings of the "current" is not merely such as silhouette by the light from that affected by that, the future of the "future".
Anywhere in the large cities that suffer from human history not only in Paris, are there to lay a layer of a variety of time. After modernism (ironically story of the era this story was born 20's modernism), the world has been and like seen as flat and homogeneous space. But in fact is not the case, I think so that there is a potential invisible force of the land where the individual specific topos.
So, this story is not a "special" story in the head of the middle-aged man of aspiring novelist of delusion that Gil habit, anyone can experience might "normal" story of the of. When decipher the city, its history and historical facts and by utilizing the context context of there, should it is also possible to travel the vertical time axis of the city.
During the 20's of Man Ray and Dali of the movie, in the conversation of Buñuel us, there is a scene that Gil would for the first time confessed that "I came from the future!". But even for those days of sur-realist who is very commonplace thing, they answer received in large serious "It is Ariel on the theory." Lol
In terms of the story of this time axis, the relationship between the future be the same, should it holds the current of our own have been affected from the future. So do you eat anything for lunch today, might influence from the future is such that intuitively decided that ,,, do you go to play anywhere at night. Lol
Or come out the second quarter, which was published the current of the "Ulysses" of Joyce "Shakespeare & Company", should lead to good in the "No wonder when the dance is Djuna Barnes and Gill that describes the" Yonomori "in the play lesbian but "every time hateful, such as words that.

That incredibly beautiful woman Adriana thing Marian Coty Earl is the time axis as Yumesaki guide, lives here in space is not. This is DiCaprio, epic Hollywood blockbuster "Inception" that Ken Watanabe starring manner also. Also like to go to feel free to something that is not here riding a car Ru More a manner "Back to the Future". Or irony for intense Hollywood Allen supervision, or by chance. . .

From Friday Shibuya Bnkamura Le Cinema, Shinjuku Piccadilly, TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills etc! ! ! It's super fun ~! ! !
