| Woody Allen: Deconstructing Harry (US 1997). |
Deconstructing Harry / Harry pala palalta. © Magnolia Productions; Sweetland Films. P: Jean Doumanian. D+SC: Woody Allen. CAST: Woody Allen (Harry Block), Elisabeth Shue (Fay), Billy Crystal (Larry), Judy Davis (Lucy). 96’. 1,85. MPAA 35383. Rated R = 17. Finnish subtitles: Timo Porri. DIST: Warner Bros. Finland. Viewed in Helsinki, VET, Monday 23 February 1998. * An installment of navel-gazing in Woody Allen's work-in-progress. His character is so boring and self-absorbed that I lose interest. The focus is on fucking and hookers, without transcendence. A juvenile film. A writer’s life is not cinematic, said Truffaut, still true. The best idea: the character going literally out of focus. First we see this happening to Robin Williams and then to Allen.
