Review of Shadows and Fog (1991) by Rick Q — 30 Mar 2012
The plot is ridiculous, but "shadows and fog" pulls off the absurdity fantastically. woody allen directs a fine cast, who all give convincing and often quirky performances, which are are accented by beautiful black and white cinematography.
the film manages to have a perfect amount of quirkiness, humor, drama, and craziness and trades off from one to the other naturally. it's not a film for everyone, and even many woody allen fans might not be too crazy about it.
but I would put "shadows and fog" among the top five best films in allen's library.
