Delving into Degas: Film Series – Midnight in Paris
(2011, PG, 100 mins)
Sun 4 Sep, 2pm
NGV International
Free entry

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.

    They should be playing a Gene Wilder movie instead. :(

      The Astor is, but it ain't free. A death = tribute film = cha ching!

        They're part of Palace now, so you can join and use your free tickets…

          Oh, but is it considered a special event? Because those events, you can't use the free tix for.

          What's special about it?

          It's an old movie.

          @jv: A tribute screening, also apart of the Roald Dahl week events.

          A tribute screening

          So Woody Allen also died ?

        • anastasiastarz on 31/08/2016 - 23:32

          @jv: For the actor…

    know Presto may not be everyone's favourite, but this movie is on at the moment.
    likely can get free sub to watch at home without the need to travel.

    Not to be confused with the 2004 released masterpiece 'One Night In Paris' which explored many areas and asked 'when was her true Golden Age?'
