Interiors
As a well-to-do family in New York falls apart, its members get ample opportunities to vent their anxieties and feelings of insufficiency. In Love and Death (1975) Woody Allen made jokes about Ingmar Bergman movies. With this film, his first one hundred percent joke-free effort, he has essentially done something that could have come from Bergman. The relationships between these people are complex, often hurtful, and Mr. Allen portrays them in a delicate, intelligent way; aided by his cinematographer, he creates a dark and gloomy mood. Superior acting, particularly from Geraldine Page as the unstable mother whose destiny looks unavoidable.
