Woody Allen - USA – 1979 – fiction – black & white – 95’ – OV - STT FR / NL
Woody Allen at his best, in the story of a forty-something TV sketch writer (played by Allen) emotionally embroiled with a far too young woman and his best friend’s woman friend. The humour is skin deep, while a deeply melancholy mood permeates this story with George Gershwin on the soundtrack, and Gordon Willis’s magnificent black-and-white Cinemascope camerawork.
With: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep
