Review of Interiors (1978) by Nicholas E — 15 Jan 2013
Though it was panned by several critics at the time of its release, Interiors is arguably one of the most emotionally wrought films I have ever seen. In fact, it is my favorite Woody Allen film of all time.
The acting is top-notch, especially Page as the mentally ill, controlling matriarch of a family of intellectually stout under-achievers. This is Allen's first foray into pure European art-house film (a la Bergman), and he delivers a heart-wrenching depiction of how much sorrow unfulfilled expectations can cause in life.
Maureen Stapleton is a gem as the only truly vibrant character. "You'll live to be 100 if you give up all the things that would make you want to." If you're looking to laugh, watch Love and Death.
If you want to feel the depths of depression and bleakness, watch this film!
