Woody Allen's Melinda And Melinda (2004)

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Starring AUSTRALIAN Radha Mitchell this is literally tragi-comic.
It opens on a rainy New York with 4 people having dinner and discussing the nature of the human condition. This knowledge will not spoil things for you. 2 of the people are writers. One of the others suggests a scenario and asks if its tragic or comic. The film tells both versions as the writers work out their plot lines.
Enter Melinda...
I like this film, it keeps you entertained and makes you keep thinking as the stories intersect to both tragic and comic effect.
I will give you a couple of lines of dialogue... "I'm sorry, I'm feeling funny, I took some sleeping pills" "How many?" "28".
It rambles as much as a 4 person, 5 bottles of wine evening will as conversation meanders and darts and you try to figure out the truth... whatever that may be in a world where everyone talks like Woody Allen.
I've now seen it 3 times and I still have to pay attention as the quite possibly demented Melinda weaves her spell...
