Dostoevsky Meets Heidegger, Directed By a Neurotic Woody Allen

Rating: 6/10 (14 March 2019)

Woody Allen is one of my favorite directors. I think he is a genius. With that said...
In this early effort, Woody seemed to have a lot of clever ideas in his head that he wanted to put into a film. There are many laugh-out-loud moments, and I enjoy the mix of doctorate-level philosophy and Russian history. Parts of this movie represent "high brow humor" at it's best. However, this is not one of Woody's best films. If you have seen 10 or more Woody Allen films and you enjoy his work, give this a shot. If you are new to Woody Allen, I cannot recommend this film.
