So bad they made it twice. A change of heart in the editing room made Allen decide to re-shoot the whole movie again with a different cast and seeing the results its difficult to see why. Set in a summer house, the plot focuses on an interconnected group of individuals who all happen to be attracted to one another, focusing on betrayal and loneliness and stars Mia Farrow who is recovering after a suicide attempt. While seemingly trying to be a study in character, it doesnt achieve this, coming across more arrogant than its aim. Layered in meaning, it was an experiment that didnt pay off and simply lacks anything worthy of a great Allen movie. One for the collectors only.
