Yesteday with Baky (my dear Orthodox Coptic Christian friend) and
Kliment (a good friend from the old rock'n'roll years), we went to
the Dobrich Cinema (sadly just one cinema for the city is
available). The cinema in Dobrich is called Cinema Club Icarus
(Ikar). For all foreigners who wants to enjoy some movie, the
Dobrich Cinema does offer a plenty of English speaking movies (with
Bulgarian subtitles).
Pitily the Dobrich Cinema website
http://www.kinoikar.com/bg/info/2 is not existing in
English, though anyone wanting to check the current projected
movies in the cinema can use the movie trailers and the movie
pictures to get the necessery info.
Anyways I haven't been to a cinema for some almost two months, so
going for a movie was really relaxing enjoyable experience. Besides
that, we were lucky to see a movie which fitted quite well to my
movie genre preferences -
Midnight in Paris . Midnight in Paris is a Romantic
Comedy for intellectuals and people who have a glipmse on art.
Its a Bohemian movie so to say and I believe it wouldn't
hold a big interest for the avarage man who doesn't keep interest
in Arts, History or Philosophy.
The movie plot revives around a young engaged American couple who
went to Paris for a business trip, just to find out there whole
life is gonna be changed by this.
The main actor Gil a just grown man is writting a Novel
book, trying to make a shift of his profession from being a movie
directory to a novel publicist. Gil (Owen Wilson) is an odd
Bohemian kind of man, who quickly fells in love with Paris rich
culture architecture and old fame.
Next to that Gil is a dreamer who (just like me dreams about the
old glorious times), when people were more respectable better moral
and more idealistic than in the current age. After one night of
heavy wine drinking, Gil's fiancee wents for some dancing and
leaves him on his own. Gil makes a round in Paris and losts himself
and decides to stay for a while in front of sold old Roman Catholic
Cathedral, a mysterious very old car crosses by the street and
suddenly some "party" gang asks Gil to join. He has no idea where
he is going and suddeny finds himself in the epoch of the world
famous 1920 of great book publicists like the
Fidgeralds family.
Night by night Gil is being transferred to a different epoch
back in time to meet a world famous artists and authors, people
like Ernest Hemingway, Picaso, Salvador Dali etc. etc. ;)
The movie shows many personages of odd world famous people
with some of their strangeties known by the current age. It appears
all of them are dreaming for all and the same thing, to live in a
earlier age to live in the Golden Age of Arts and Poetry
;)
The movie is real fun in Gil's personage I've seen a lot of "me",
also I've seen a lot of me in many of the other famous people as of
course presented in the movie. I hardly recommend this movie to
anyone who wants to take a break, have a good mindful laugh
time.
Here is Midnight in Paris movie trailer as well to get an
idea what to expect:
