Shit Happening

shoutout to this person in the Unpopular Film and TV Discussions fb group already mad shittalking the new Woody Allen movie I didn't even know about, Rifkin's Festival

Woody Allen regurgitates about half a dozen of his less interesting films, in this rambling narrative of yet another disgruntled alter ego (Wallace Shawn) with a stalled literary career and faltering marriage, who attempts to frolick with a (surprise) younger woman while attending a film festival in Spain, when not daydreaming à la mode of his favorite boomer arthouse directors (you probably can already guess which).

Rarely has Woody felt so insular, out of shape and derivative as in this trivial cinephile soap of typically pretentious (and mostly miscast) neurotics consumed by their own dwindling intellects (and libidos), whose only grace lies in the deployment of the EU landscape he's basically stuck with, now his status as persona non grata back on home base has solidified.

Not to worry though - we'll have another serving of the same soon enough.
