Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 104m
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Martin Landau, Anjelica Huston, Woody Allen, Mia Farrow

Synopsis:

An opthalmologist suffers a crisis of conscience when he has his mistress 'silenced', and a documentary film producer makes a deliberate hash of a film about his despised brother-in-law - and loses the girl.

Review:

Typically humorous and humane study by its writer-director of moral perversions and sophistry, from the bizarre to the lethal (the Landau character, no Gloucester in terms of moral vision, behaves much as American politicians were to do a decade or so later). The film is much like Hannah and Her Sisters in tackling a serious subject with sobriety while using the Woody character as a comic foil, but surpasses it both in ambition and in acting contributions. Allen returned to the theme much later with Match Point, but the results were uneven.
