Match Point (2005 Woody Allen & scr)

Particularly well acted by Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

This time I thought the murder to opera did work! (The music here is Verdi's 'Othello' and had to be cut to fit the action.) A cunning, beautiful chiller - it's no coincidence that Meyers is at one point reading 'Crime and Punishment'.



Paddy Chayefsky: "When a movie is failing, cut out the wisdom."
Marshall Brickman: "The message of the film can't be in the dialogue."
