Review of Melinda and Melinda (2004) by Ld P — 23 Sep 2009
Melinda and Melinda (2004) I love Woody Allen and I don't know why all in USA are not celebrating our most famous film director. He has WRITTEN AND DIRECTED over 50 films. The premise of the film is stated by a group of four writers conversing over dinner at the beginning of the film.
The question arises: Is life naturally comic or tragic? One of the four proposes a simple story (a distraught woman knocks on a door and disrupts a dinner party) and the two prominent playwrights in the group begin telling their versions of this story, one being comic and one tragic.
This film is especially satisfying as it is set in and around all the theater people in NYC. They talk hang around work socialize with a funny comic Bergman Angst here wonderfully adapted by Allen. Mitchell in her dual role (yes 2 roles) is fantastic.
5 stars highest recommendation.
