CAFE SOCIETY

I’d be willing to bet that this Woody Allen film has the largest body-count of any of his films. But, despite the sporadic violence, Cafe Society is a mediation on Love. Beautifully filmed by cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, who filmed Last Tango in Paris, Apocalypse, Now, and Reds. Jesse Eisenberg plays a young man who ends up working for his uncle, a Hollywood agent. He meets stars, but falls for an office girl. Complications result. Jesse Eisenberg returns to New York City and runs a night club with his gangster brother. Complications ensue. The Past forces Jesse Eisenberg’s character to ponder his choices in life and in love. This is a pleasant movie, but no more. GRADE: B

    George, did you do something wrong, offend someone at the NSA maybe?

    Your site wasn’t available most of yesterday (and the day before …) and now it seems some comments are lost.

      Dan, I think our comments here are more interesting than those Hillary emails about yoga lessons and Chelsea’s wedding plans!

    I bet it was Obama. After all, Trump’s spokesperson said he was responsible for Capt. Khan’s death…even though it took place FIVE YEARS before Obama was, you know, actually President.

        I agree. If McCain or Ryan could just man up and be the first, I think the floodgates would open.

        Jeff, I’m surprised McCain didn’t stand up to Trump during that incident a year ago when Trump mocked McCain’s experience as a prisoner-of-war.
