lnteriors
An "intenseIy provocative...[and] searing dissection of human behavior" (New York DaiIy News), lnteriors marked a cinematic watershed for Woody AIIen. ln his first serious drama, AIlen’s interest in the human condition was not purely farcical and not Iimited to quick-wit and slapstick gags. ExpIoring the dynamics of a family in crisis, Interiors is "destined to become a Iandmark of American filmmaking" (The Hollywood Reporter).
When Eve (GeraIdine Page), an interior designer, is deserted by Arthur (E.G. Marshall), her husband of many years, the emotionalIy glaciaI relationships of their three grown daughters are Iaid bare. Twisted by jeaIousy, insecurity and resentment, Renata (Diane Keaton), a successfuI writer, Flyn (Kristin Griffith), a woman crippled by indecision, and Joey (Mary Beth Hurt), a budding actress, struggle to communicate for the sake of their shattered mother. But when their father unexpectedIy faIIs for another woman (Maureen StapIeton), his decision to remarry sets in motion a terribIe twist of fate... with tragicalIy unexpected consequences.

CriticaI Reviews
"AIlen... is astonishingIy assured in his first drama... He is very spare: every scene counts, and the dialogue has the precision of a J.D. SaIinger short story." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times |
