Review of Husbands and Wives (1992) by Petros T — 10 Oct 2013

Although the film's themes are the same old Allen themes, the storytelling, direction and photography on display are quite groundreaking. The interviews, the hand-held camera and the close-ups add realism and bring the viewer closer to the characters in an effortless way few films can.

All the above, together with the fine cast (Davis stands out; Allen in his non-hysterical moments and Pollack are also quite good) and the cliche-free script, elevate this slightly uneven film to near-masterpiece.
