The TVI Take

Woody Allen's 1989 dual-narrative film, Martin Landau as an ophthalmologist confronting whether to have his mistress killed, intercut with Allen's documentarian filming his pretentious brother-in-law. The structural commitment to letting two genres (thriller and comedy) render the same ethical-philosophical material (whether moral consequences can be evaded) at canonical Allen mid-career register is the catalog's most-philosophically-direct work.
