Next on the list is Woody Allen's 'mess around' with arty black & white shots echoing the days gone by and taking a little piece of ever expressionist film that was ever made in the 1920s. Based roughly on Kafka's 'The Trial' this movie had a weird and surreal-like edge to it which made it curiously haunting and desperately watchable. Added to which the amazing back-log of stars who appeared in this was extraordinary ( John Malkovich, Madonna, Jodie Foster, Mia Farrow etc) and made it all the more interesting. The plot takes on a bizarre Fritz Langish twist, about a bookkeeper ( Allen) who is woken at night by his neighbours and asked to go with them to help track down a serial killer who is murdering people all through the misty and scary town. It doesn't make a huge amount of sense but Allen is really experimenting with noir photography in this and that is really the main thing to be focusing on.
