The Weinstein Company
So it’s been about a year since legendary filmmaker Woody Allen’s Scoop was released, and he’s got a new one already. Cassandra’s Dream
shows some earmarks of a rushed film: an almost unnecessary opening
sequence and rough editing that does next to nothing to build momentum.
Still, there’s a potent moral film here involving two London brothers
(played by Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell), who are asked by a
relative to do something immoral. An attractive woman comes into the
situation to complicate matters between the brothers. An interesting
characteristic of Woody’s newest is its similarity to 2005’s Match
Point (also by Allen). One could perhaps call this a copy with humor. –
