Review of Interiors (1978) by Jorge B — 25 May 2012

The relationship of three sisters: a poet, an actress and a victim of her own freedom and neurosis. The three try to deal with their lives but also with the possible breakup of their parents. This central story ramifies giving us true character development and becoming an example of why Woody Allen is the person with more Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay.

Here we get to see the range of Diane Keaton, the talent of Mary-Beth Hurt and two amazing performances that come from Geraldine Page and Maureen Stapleton. The script is flawless and the direction, art direction and photography is superb, I say this because every room, every setting and every image is controlled to a degree that I had never seen before.

I felt the sterility of perfection that is phrased by Joey (Hurt) at the end of the film : "all the beautifully furnished rooms, carefully designed interiors, everything's so controlled. There wasn't any room for any real feelings.

None, between any of us."A must see for the fans of Woody Allen and a very recommendable film for everyone.
