havent heard much on woody allen's "shadows and fog". i saw it last night and although it was not as good as crimes and misdemeanors i thought it was quite good in its own right. its a vintage-like print, not merely black and white but set back in time, i believe in the 1930s. it has woody's usual morality questions and the ultimate "do you believe in god?" question that is generally summarized in the last few lines of the film. the cameos: madonna, kathy bates, jodie foster, john cusak and others seem a bit hap-hazard but are not alltogether inappropriate. i found it interesting trying to figure out how each of them might come up in the story (since the credits announce them i was sort of waiting for each to show up). the story reminded me of fritz lang's "M" and i wouldnt be surprised if woody admitted its influence. id sum it up as being "classy" a vintage woody allen. suzanne [log in to unmask]
