Woody at Cannes, contd.

Filed under: General, Blah-blah

The New York Sun likes Woody Allen’s latest, Match Point, too:

Conventional to the core, “Match Point” is nevertheless a constant surprise: From the BBC logo that precedes the film, to the absence of regular Allen crew members in the credit sequence, to the shocking display of actual characters, a decent narrative, and smart writing, this isn’t the kind of Woody Allen picture we’ve become accustomed to in the last decade. Setting the film in London forced Mr. Allen to imagine something other than twenty-something versions of himself strolling the West Village while name-dropping Chekhov and Strindberg.

Nothing wrong with conventional, is there? (Full article only available to subscribers, teaser to all.)
