O yeah. Full Bergman. Dream sequences. Dream sequences in a theater, (Fellini?) Pronouncements upon mortality. Flashbacks that are misunderstood and confuse the viewer. O yeah.
I watched this to key in on Gene Hackman and Geena Rowlins. The rest of the cast is fantastic. Literally, hard to believe. It is an actor's (indulgent) fantasy.
If you have any sympathy for neurotic, highly educated, New Yorkers (there is no other group this movie reaches) then you may get something from this film.
It is stagey, and self-indulgent. Woody at his worst. 'Who talks like this?'
P.S. People compare it to Interiors (I like) Interiors maintains its boundaries of film. This thing gets into novelization, stage, and lecture. Focus on philosophy and psychology.
