Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer, Matthew Goode
A Mr. Ripleyesque drama about a young go-getter who is desperate to become a somebody. He rises above his state but jeopardises it all by falling in love with another woman. The story, which is set in London, is long, somber and familiar from A Place in the Sun, but it keeps you in its grip. However, it's hard to recognize Woody Allen's fingerprint in this chilly film.
