Crimes et délits

Before years, when I've seen all of the films of Woody Allen, I ranked this film as a 6/10. Now that I am seeing all of them again (without subtitles this time) I understand that this film is from the best films of Woody Allen. I think that in order to understand and I appreciate his films you have to see them at least 2 times. The main actor of the drama scenes, Martin Landau, plays his role so well. He seems that he is really suffering with the dilemma he confronts. In order to keep the film from becoming a heavy drama, Woody Allen , plays a role that gives some moments of laugh.

This is a profound film, a true classic and great even among Woody Allen's great films! Thought-provoking and involving, I've found since seeing it that the film and its statements about good versus evil, denial, guilt, narcissism, have never really left me. A film with many layers, one that demands a re-visiting from time to time.

Let's begin by declaring that you do not need to be a Woody Allen fan to appreciate this film. As is often the case, Allen's schlemiel character is the least sympathetic and interesting one in the movie.

But that aside, here's a story that I found thoroughly engaging. Is there a perfect crime? Is guilt the same as remorse? How does a "good" person come to terms with his sins?

The blind Rabbi: Is God unseeing? The Holocaust survivor philosopher who challenges survival (that's all I can say without spoiling): is there any real redemption?

The movie has flaws but I give it a "10" for daring to ask serious questions. (And the visit to the old house in Brooklyn has a dynamism that all of us who remember our childhood homes will relate to.)

Martin Landau, a successful doctor, contemplates murdering a former mistress who threatens his easy life while Woody Allen, an unsuccessful filmmaker, contemplates having an extramarital affair. This film, alongside "Annie Hall," will one day be rated as one of Woody Allen's greatest achievements. It is an important, intelligent work that explores the implications of whether or not this is indeed a moral universe. It also very funny. The subplot about Allen making a film about his successful, conceited brother-in-law (Alan Alda.) A masterpiece. I doubt he will reach these heights again.

I graduated college a year ago I didn't get any job offers , no intimate life, nothing. And with coincidence I started to be addicted to woody Allen movies. He became my buddy in somehow, I get anxious every night for another story of his. It's just a secret effortless way to keep me going. He in most of his movies acts like a losser but with a wisdom who want to change something about his life sometimes it works sometimes not and I like how real this is . Never complicated always fun.
