It's about love and reality. Faith and delusion. Good and evil. Success and failure.
A renowned ophthalmologist is desperate to cut off an adulterous relationship…which ends up in murder; and a frustrated documentary filmmaker woos an attractive television producer while making a film about her insufferably self-centered boss.
DirectorWoody Allen
