Surprised how so few people got this film. Wasn't it obvious? German expressionism of the 20s, with some Kafka, pointing at Antisemitism, vigilantism... it's one of Allen's most political films. It's also very funny with Woody ideally cast and in great form as a scared little man, and a very strong all star support cast.
Beautifully shot and designed, genuinely scary. The world is a mixture of the cold (the streets) and the warm (the brothel, the circus). I love the friendship between Allen and Farrow. I do wish they'd caught the killer at the end.
