One of Allen's darkest films

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2019)

I know Allen has a fairly wide raging filmography but I tend to think of him as a comedic director. Further many of his films always seem to have a comedic edge to them. Match Point is one of a handful that isn't comedic at all. It is instead a dark sensuous thriller about the life's haphazard way of dealing out fates by chance not moral standing. It consciously borrows from Crime and Punishment to make this point and the novel is incorporated directly into the text. Chris is a fascinating character and there is a maddening ambiguity to when he became awful morally. This is just a well put together film. I like how minimal a lot of it is.
