Goliath's mystery/romance with the past is vintage Woody Allen!


A sage local critic
is reminded of the current "Midnight in Paris" flick.
The flick IS also vintage Goliath! Art meets life.
Life meets Woody Allen.
Woody Allen meets Goliath.
Artistic sympatico.

When do our local heroes, Golaith and Greaser, go to Paris?

The New Yorker quotes...."the movie insists that the only way to make art is to engage with the present."

'The New York Times' says
of 'Midnight in Paris':

"Paris is perpetually alive, not because it houses the ghosts of the famous dead but because it is the repository and setting of so much of their work. And the purpose of all that old stuff is not to carry us into the past but rather to animate and enliven the present."

A local sage critic says
that the vintage Golaith art saga also is well captured as it fits the bill of...
"the purpose of all that old stuff is not to carry us into the past but rather to animate and enliven the present."

Roger Ebert of the Sun-Times:...."nostalgia can change its ingredients at a movable feast."

Yes, Goliath art sagas.


"This film is sort of a daydream for American lit majors......
.................a screenwriter from Hollywood who still harbors the dream of someday writing a good novel and joining the pantheon of American writers whose ghosts seem to linger in the very air he breathes: Fitzgerald, Hemingway and the other legends of Paris in the 1920s."
