La comedia sexual de una noche de verano

"Sex relieves tension, love evokes it." This is how it can turn out when a master directs a relaxing film. I thought it would just be a little toy for Allen's pleasure, but amidst a flood of gags and occasional pessimistic thoughts, everything converges into a captivating parody of dramas about fateful decisions and bundles of thoughts on the same subject. The only director from whom I can list ten more significant films on the spot, and yet I know that he deserves a fifth star for this one as well. (23.12.2006)

A very nice, almost cute film. It’s just ticklish and funny enough, sensationally acted (Julie Hagerty is an absolutely charming creature). And I didn't even mind the lack of jazz, as Woody Allen sucked all the music out of Mendelssohn Bartholdy this time. What amused me as much as a lot of the jokes and pranks were the constant playing with the camera and its long shots. (21.08.2013)
