Another one of Woody Allen's greats. Although I didn't like it as much as "Match Point," I did like its more than a decade long's foreshadowing of "Match Point." Allen again gives audiences a story about smart people finding their way through the labyrinth of love, lust, and passion. My favourite character is the doctor in Allen's character's documentary. Although we didn't meet him in person, he delivered quotes that are worth pondering over and at the same time serves as (arguably) the narrator of the film. His role towards the end of the film became more complex, as if cancelling out or emphasizing the "advices" he stated. There are a lot of elements working together and against each other in this film and that's the beauty of it. There is no one correct interpretation, which makes up a rich movie worth discussing.
