Review of Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) by Bobby B — 28 May 2010
Crimes and Misdemeanors is one of Woody Allen's very best movies. There's two main stories here, one a depressing drama and the other more of a comedy, which don't intersect until the very end but work perfectly together to form a bleak, thought-provoking, unusual whole.
This is Woody Allen at his most pessimistic and bitter, but the movie's downbeat mood is made alot easier to swallow due to the absolutely perfect ensemble cast and surprisingly hilarious moments.
Martin Landau and Woody Allen are brilliant in their lead roles, while Anjelica Huston, Mia Farrow, and Alan Alda lend memorable support. Overall, Crimes and Misdemeanors is something truly unique and special - it's tragic, hilarious, and scary intelligent.
