What I hadn't really considered before is how great the Alec Baldwin - Jesse Eisenberg (thus stamped with approval) story is, in that Baldwin is the Greek Chorus, commenting on the action with the wisdom of age (not that it makes any difference).
If that isn't enough we have the whole famous for being famous scenario through Roberto Benigni - a fabulous and topical story involving Signor Pisanelli! - how did the two get on? Fabulously, I'll bet, and it looks that way from photos:
There's also another insanely catchy soundtrack.
Darius Khondji shot it in his distinctive pallette.
Judy Davis is Woody's wife, Flavio Parenti is the shower singer, Alison Pill Jesse's girlfriend, Alessandra Mastronardi (Italian The Fifth Wheel and up-coming Life (photographer shoots James Dean), Titanium White (thriller), The Tourist and Lost in Florence).
Robbie Collin of The Telegraph though it 'four of his worst films rolled into one'... What an arsehole!
