A greek tragedy.

Yesterday we saw Woody Allen's latest, "Match Point". And guess what, this time it's different. Sure, the caracters are still upper-class and beautiful, but there are some elements that make this movie not quite what we're used to see from Woody.
It is set in London, not in Manhattan, and there is not a trace of comedy in it. It's difficult to find the director reflected in one of the characters, as we have so often seen.
This is a film that is closer to his great dramas, notably "Crimes and Misdemeanors" than anything else he's made in years. It doesn't look like a Woody Allen film, and it feels good.
