Crimes and Misdemeanors

Cf. Match-Point. When I complained to my friend E about Match-Point’s seeming soullessness, he suggested this movie.

And indeed it played out as the same movie, only this time with a heart to it; and the second plot, involving the Woody Allen character, and much comedy. Because of the second plot, it had a sense of being multi-dimensional, where Match-Point seemed disturbingly flat. Having Professor Levy as an important character helps make the movie a search for truth, however compromised. Woody Allen is both funny and deep while being a good story-teller, in a way that I’ve never seen him be before. Before I had only seen him be two out of three of these things.
