Win a Classics DVD bundle including the award winning MIDNIGHT IN PARIS
To mark the release of Woody Allen’s MIDNIGHT IN PARIS – out on DVD on February 6 – Screenjabber is offering you the chance to win a Classics DVD bundle including MIDNIGHT IN PARIS as well as Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Dr Zhivago and Blind Side. MIDNIGHT IN PARIS has recently achieved critical acclaim by scooping a Golden Globe for Best Screenplay as well as four Academy Award nominations and one BAFTA nomination.
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS is Woody Allen’s valentine to the City of Light, which he considers equal to New York as the great city of the world. “Of course I’m partial to New York because I was born there and grew up there,” he says, “but if I didn’t live in New York, Paris is the place I would live.” The film is the second time Allen has filmed there, after a small bit of EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU.
“I get great enjoyment out of presenting Paris to the cinema audience the way I see it,” he says. “Just as with New York, where I present it one way, and other directors present it other ways, somebody else could come and shoot Paris in a completely different way. I want to present it my way, projecting my own feelings about it.”
SYNOPSIS: Witness a romantic comedy that is a breath of fresh air as Gil (Owen Wilson), a talented Hollywood screenwriter and his wife Inez (Rachel McAdams) travel to Paris with her wealthy parents. Gil is seeking inspiration for his first novel, but Inez does not share his romantic idealistic notion of the world. Unimpressed by Inez’s pseudo-intellectual, pompous acquaintances, Gil wanders off into the city one night alone to find his creativity and gets far more than he bargained for. As the clock strikes Midnight, Gil is transported back to the 1920s where he encounters idols of literary and art history and is swept up in a magical whirlwind of culture and nostalgic refinement. Torn between this newfound secret nightlife and the present day realism of his family vacation, Gil’s marriage, and his grip on reality are both called into question.
With an incredible all star cast including Adrien Brody, Michael Sheen, Tom Hiddleston, Marion Cotillard, Mimi Kennedy, Alison Pill, Kathy Bates and Carla Bruni, this cinematic event and Golden Globe nominee is one not to be missed.
We have ONE bundle to give away plus THREE copies of MIDNIGHT IN PARIS as runner-up prizes.

In which city is MIDNIGHT IN PARIS set?
