Review of New York Stories (1989) by Jack G — 27 Mar 2011

Like a sandwich that has absolutely wonderful, tasty bread, with not-so-great filling. Scorsese and Allen's shorts are fantastic- about an artist struggling with himself and love and a Neurotic NY-er struggling with his Mother floating up in the sky berating him in front of everybody, respectively- but Coppola's is too fluffy with nothing really going on except that it's about a girl who lives a sheltered rich girl's life and there's a lot of dancing and Vittorio Storaro cinematography.

It's not terrible, but what's the point? co-written with Sofia Coppola (her first on-screen credit) it's a waste of space in-between two shorts by directors who really care about what they're doing.
