Nov 6th  
Crimes and Misdemeanors**       
(US 1989)                      

Two separate stories, one humorous and the other tragic, of a guilt-ridden doctor driven to murder, and a neurotic documentary film maker, who meet at a wedding party.
Complex, slightly uneven character study with some funny moments combined with dark themes akin to Allen's obsession with Bergman, with the comedic story itself turning serious before the end; significantly this also takes precedence over the more interesting murder story.

Written and Directed by: Woody Allen.
Producer: Robert Greenhut.
Starring: Martin Landau, Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, Alan Alda, Anjelica Huston, Claire Bloom, Sam Waterston, Jerry Orbach, Joanna Gleason, Daryl Hannah.
Photography: Sven Nykvist.
Music: Various.
