Poster for Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris Finally Adds Owen Wilson to a Van Gogh Painting

It seems like the city of Paris would offer enough picturesque imagery to draw from when designing the poster for a Woody Allen film shot in the city of light. And that's to say nothing of the art the city inspired. Instead though, we get a little bit of the Seine, an obnoxious shout-out to a Vincent van Gogh painting of a village in the south of France and Owen Wilson donning an "Aw shucks" look. I don't get it. But then again, I would have been happy with a giant image of Carla Bruni carrying a baguette.
