| Strongly disliked by some critics for its bleakness and scrappy visual style, Woody Allen’s “feelbad” movie about marriage is among his sharpest and wittiest. It's a dark, sad but also very funny analysis of modern relationships, with two wonderful central performances by Sydney Pollack and Judy Davis. For the way it combines humour and seriousness and avoids his usual faults of self-pity and pretentious superficiality, this is right up there among Allen's best work. His rough, documentary-style camerawork - a new stylistic departure for him - is hard to watch; but it's designed to be disturbing, to make the audience feel intrusive into his characters' private live. The parallels with Allen’s private tribulations are painfully apparent. |
