A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy description
In A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy, Woody Allen mixes Shakespeare, Ingmar Bergman, and the music and art of the turn of the century. Allen plays Andrew, an inventor, whose listless marriage to Adrian (Mary Steenburgen) has lost all erotic zip. He welcomes two pairs of friends to his country home: college professor Leopold (José Ferrer) and his fiancée Ariel (Mia Farrow), and dentist Maxwell (Tony Roberts) and his suffragette nurse Dulcy (Julie Hagerty). Before long, everyone's lusting after everyone else's partner, and the plot twists and turns to a happy and magical conclusion. It's a light and airy film, perhaps a deliberate break from Allen's previous production, the caustic Stardust Memories; but the tone may also be due to his new relationship with Farrow, who went on to star in Allen's films for the next 10 years. --Bret Fetzer |

♥♥♥♥♥ |
Light. But slight.
|
| Extremely beautiful scenery. Amusing character parodies. Witty lines. Interesting actors. Based, more or less equally, on Shakespeare and Bergman. Several viewers don't seem to recognize the Bergman influence, which is at least 50% of this movie. Captures the enchantment which can occur, very occasionally, in youth, especially, when nature, sun and moon combine to create a sense that there is more, after all, to existence, than the daily grind. I feel guilty that I found my attention wandering every so often. I gave it an extra star when I wasn't thinking. |
