I'm sorry I can't with him

Rating: 3/10 (4 April 2020)

I have seen this movie and I don't know if I have ever seen it before or not, but some friends have asked me and I have seen it to tell them my opinion.
From what I'm going to say when I was studying cinema, many people literally turned their backs on me and stopped talking.
The truth is that at first, I laughed a lot, if, up to the forty minute or so, I would rather define that part as a succession of gags than as a movie. Then the film stagnates and is the Allen that I have always remembered, until I got really bored. It doesn't usually seem interesting to me, even knowing that as a dialogue writer it has no equal, but as a director, I find it boring. I am not interested in what you are telling me. I do not see a coherence to anything, it seems that they are all snippets of something that is not known to be.
The actors are in his line, he will always be him, and she is very well. The problem is that they don't transmit anything to me.
He is a director who never uses lighting, as the photo director, whose name I do not remember, who worked with him and with Bermang, who had been the director he had known, who did more than light and the camera. He does not transmit anything with either of them, he simply does not care.
As director, he doesn't exist, he just wants to tell a story as if it were theater. The moments he speaks to the camera, seem horrible to me, you can't get more of a movie viewer than doing that. Surely if I did theater it would be wonderful, but the problem is that they are two completely different media. There is no sequence in which he puts a point of view different from that of a mere observer from outside, he never has the baton.
The beginning of the film is a clear sample of what the whole film is going to be, if you don't see it clearly don't follow.
