USA
Feature Film
Writer/Director: Woody Allen
Cinematographer: Gordon Willis
Cast: Kristin Griffith, Mary Beth Hurt, Richard Jordan, Diane Keaton, E.G. Marshall, Geraldine Page, Maureen Stapleton, Sam Waterston
Allen’s much maligned first foray into straight drama, an examination of a wealthy, artistic family and their complicated and troubled relationships, is something of a masterpiece, and as an examination of existential angst is about as effective as American cinema has produced. The performances are all, without exception, excellent, with Geraldine Page and Maureen Stapleton being particularly brilliant. And the mise-en-scène is bold and adventurous and perfectly captures Allen’s beautifully drawn characters. A beautiful and moving masterpiece.
