...Woody-Mia affair is only a confusing series of scenes. Last week child-abuse investigators at Yale-New Haven Hospital, enlisted by Connecticut state prosecutors, presented their findings on Farrow's allegations that Allen molested their seven-year-old daughter Dylan. Allen (who is dating Farrow's daughter Soon-Yi Previn) claimed the investigation found "no sexual abuse took place." Farrow's lawyer took issue with the unreleased report, contending that the conclusions were "incomplete and inaccurate."

You want us to ponder weightier issues, like the piquant mise-en-scene in the oeuvre of a major auteur. Perhaps the entire review should be in French...
...thing to realize now is that Allen wrote this movie long before he says he was involved with Soon-Yi. The thing that moviegoers will realize decades hence is that Husbands and Wives is a damn fine film. Here again he is X- raying the gnarled psyches of Manhattan's glamourati: Gabe and Judy and their best friends Jack (Sydney Pollack) and Sally (Judy Davis). Each is in some stage of a mid-love crisis; each married partner is given the chance to follow a flirtation to climax or catastrophe. Typically, Allen deals himself the highest cards. Gabe alone...
