Review of Husbands and Wives (1992) by Hari A — 19 Oct 2012
Factors affecting two perfect relationships and eventually as one gets better, the other is destroyed. Gabe (Woody Allen) and Judy (Mia Farrow) are happily married, while Jack (Sydney Pollack) and Sally (Judy Davis) are not and decide to voluntarily split. The factors following this decision changes the course of relationship for all the four characters and they start finding love elsewhere.
Performance wise, looking at the cast you do not expect anything less than amazing, which is exactly what you get. Shot in a documentary style, with narration and interviews, the progression is pretty cool. I was sceptical at first because of the title, I expected a family soap but it actually is not. Bustling with Woody Allen's intellectual punchlines, this is actually one of his best works.
The movie just feels like a complicated web of relationships where everyone falls for someone they are supposed to fall for!!
