Ok. I will admit it – I’m not a fan of Woody Allen! So when it was announced that his latest film Midnight in Paris was opening the 64 Festival de Cannes I was neither disappointed nor approving. You see the cast was the ticket at the very least for me to think about watching this Woody Allen film in Cannes.  The film brings together Canadian darling Rachel McAdams and Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers) and it co-stars Paris … Ah, Paris. City of love. Home of Pepé Le Pew and now Woody Allen, whose often fatalistic ideas about human behavior can inspire sweet romance or pulverize naive notions of l’amore in his films.

Midnight in Paris, due in theatres nationwide May 20, is Allen’s latest painting of a fabled European city — after London, Barcelona, and, coming soon, Rome.

The trailer starts by practically framing Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams in a Monet painting, but their love is about to be tested. But of course! There’s a bearded pseudo-intellectual who’s in the way – it just would be a Woody Allen film without one. There’s a bevy of beautiful belles — including Carla Bruni. McAdams tells her blond beau that he’s “in love with a fantasy,” and she doesn’t realize just how right she may be, after he discovers a magical, mysterious after-hours locale, full of Parisian delights. It might not be the Moulin Rouge, but it’s on the same block. “Regardez le video” (Take a look at the video)
