Interiors
An "intensely provocative...[and] searing dissection of human behavior" (New York Daily News), lnteriors marked a cinematic watershed for Woody Allen. In 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, lnteriors is "destined to become a landmark of American fiImmaking" (The Hollywood Reporter).
When Eve (GeraIdine Page), an interior designer, is deserted by Arthur (E.G. MarshaII), her husband of many years, the emotionaIIy gIacial reIationships of their three grown daughters are laid bare. Twisted by jealousy, insecurity and resentment, Renata (Diane Keaton), a successful writer, Flyn (Kristin Griffith), a woman crippled by indecision, and Joey (Mary Beth Hurt), a budding actress, struggIe to communicate for the sake of their shattered mother. But when their father unexpectedly falls for another woman (Maureen StapIeton), his decision to remarry sets in motion a terrible twist of fate... with tragically unexpected consequences.

Critical Reviews
"AIlen... is astonishingly 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 |
