Elitist claptrap
13 July 2022
Woody Allen's movies starting with Manhattan and going forward become increasingly elitist. It's all about private boxes at the opera and appearing in Ibsen plays. And oh yes I'm familiar with all the references. It just seems like embarrassingly shallow name dropping. I hated the stupid subtitles which add nothing. And of course there's the older man "teaching" the younger woman about poetry, and art, and life. Has anyone ever called him out on this not so veiled misogyny. I gave it a 5 so there must be something good about it. Michael Caine. Caine handles Allen's dialogue better than anyone, making it sound natural rather than like someone imitating Woody.
