"Crimes and Misdemeanors" goes Brit

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2006)

Woody's plowed this field before in "C&M", but "Match Point" revisits the territory in a somewhat more dramatic manner, and the acting, particularly by Scarlett Johannsen, makes this a must-see for habitués of the Allen canon. In living color. And wonder of wonders, actual proof that the Woodman may have developed a theory that not all aerobic life forms are confined to the interior of a NYC pied a terre.
Note bene...Having seen this one on DVD, I strongly urge that you use the English subtitles, as an awful lot of the duologue is buried in the soundtrack either by multiple conversations (a la Altman) or by inaudible stage whispers.
