In the meantime, here's one of my favourite songs from the soundtrack, by the amazing Joséphine Baker:
If you have seen Midnight in Paris: I must say I am still puzzled as to why her character dances to her own record though... Any thoughts?

Waah I still want to see this movie! Except I have heard different things about it… But you really liked it, yes?
ReplyDeleteKatie: I might be ruining my movie-recommending credibility by saying this, but I really really liked it! I mean, it worked perfectly for me, but I can understand why it wouldn't work for somebody else. I think you should go see it, and find out for yourself!
ReplyDeleteFuck credibility, a good movie is a good movie.
ReplyDeleteYes! I was actually partly considering the person with whom I saw this movie's opinion on it, but I guess it just doesn't make sense here, out of context.
DeleteWe've got the soundtrack CD to "Midnight in Paris," and I was surprised to read in the liner notes that the version of this song used in the film is the Josephine Baker original, dated 1936! I thought that surely, a modern version was created for this 2011 film. How can a modern film use an old record (pre-hifi, pre-stereo sound) without sounding scratchy and ancient?
