Celebrity (1998 Woody Allen & scr)

One of the more obscure Woody Allens, stunningly shot in sharp back and white by Sven Nykvist, with Kenneth Branagh doing perhaps a too good impression of Woody himself as a journalist who's recently dumped Judy Davis (brilliant), one of those Allen characters who finds her life somehow improving.

Brilliant round table shot of Branagh flirting with Winona Ryder. Also great montage in episode where he gets swept up by Charlize Theron's entourage. And great self-referential line "He's one of those assholes who shoots all his movies in black and white."

With Michael Lerner and Debra Messing in hilarious cosmetic surgery scene, Joe Mantegna, Famke Janssen, Leonardo di Caprio, Hank Azaria, Melanie Griffith and Adrian Grenier in non-speaking part.
