Santo Loquasto

Upon returning in glory to the college from which he was expelled, sexually voracious and dyspeptic writer Harry Block can find no companions for his trip--except, that is, for a hooker he's hired. The trouble with Harry, as it were, is that he's alienated everyone in his life, from a string of wives and psychotherapists to all his living relatives, by rehashing their dirty little secrets in his fatuous, mean-spirited writing. A new height of self-loathing for introspective auteur Allen, who meditates upon a self-reflection theme based on Bergman's WILD STRAWBERRIES.

New York Times - ...Viscously funny....Mr. Allen writes outstandingly acerbic dialogue....The best one-liners, like the whole film, mix melancholy with self-knowledge..., USA Today - ...A daring movie..., Sight and Sound - ...Very funny....A dazzling job..., Entertainment Weekly - "...HARRY is scorching self-parody as comic triumph..." -- Rating: A-
