It so happens, that when movie makers make a movie about movie-making, they are successful. That's how it happened this time. Woody Allen had succeeded again in creating a hybrid of comedy and tragedy, in a well unified form. The film is indeed like 'Crime and Punishment'. With very significant differences, but still, it is similar - with same psychological tension. Full of witty dialogue and jokes. Altogether I'd give it a maximum amount of points, because it was impressive. It contained scenes of unhappiness not uncommon in real life, and the ending was educational. A well spent 90 minutes in my opinion. The director obviously has a very distinctive style.
