YOU WILL MEET A TALL DARK STRANGER

Woody Allen's latest film follows a pair of married couples struggling to find love and fulfilment, often in unorthodox ways.

As is always the case for an Allen film, the cast is amazing: Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts (replacing Nicole Kidman), Josh Brolin, Antonio Banderas, and Gemma Jones.

While the film is set in London, it could be any urban, sophisticated setting.

Woody Allen has been prolific throughout his career, making a film each year for the last forty – no easy feat. Each of his films, including this one, has the theme of personal discontent and the consequent search for fulfilment, with the ‘moral' being that life is brief and this search is futile.

This film is worth seeing for the cast, the competent directing and, of course for Allen devotees. However, the difference between this film and his classic works such as Annie Hall and Manhattan, are that these early films were groundbreaking and hilarious even as they were cerebral.

Don't forget that Cinema Vox is also hosting regular Sunday matinées throughout interseason, a great excuse to curl up with a classic movie and a bag of sweets!
