Husbands and Wives is a 1992 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Woody Allen. The film stars Allen, Mia Farrow, Sydney Pollack, Judy Davis, Lysette Anthony, Juliette Lewis, Liam Neeson and Blythe Danner. The film debuted shortly after the end of Allen and Farrow’s romantic and professional partnership and was the last of their 13 films together. The movie is filmed by Carlo Di Palma with a handheld camera style and features documentary-like interviews with the characters interspersed with the story.
Husbands and Wives, released by TriStar Pictures, was Allen’s first film as sole director for a studio other than United Artists or Orion Pictures (both now part of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) since Take the Money and Run (1969). It received critical acclaim despite being a box-office failure, and was nominated for two Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actress (Judy Davis) and Best Original Screenplay (Woody Allen).
HUSBANDS AND WIVES, is a tale of two married couples confronted with change who are forced to review and re-evaluate universal questions about marriage, friendship, fidelity, romance, trust and love.
As he has in many of his previous films, Allen blends his comedic and dramatic styles in HUSBANDS AND WIVES. The film explores with irony and humor themes Allen has been concerned with over the years — contemporary relationships, commitment, change and resistance to change, disruption and regeneration, and the many facets and complexities of the human heart.
Definitely a great return to form for Woody Allen after a few major stumbles to being the decade of the 1990s, a really solid film filled with Woody Allen in his prime, what makes his work so great, great writing, good casting, if you love Woody Allen, this is definitely a must watch.
