    Café Society

    Reviewed by

    Woody Allen has tackled a number of films set in the 1930's, for example, Radio Days which I loved. It's a decade in which Woody feels pretty comfortable having more recently set other thirties themed films in Paris. From the opening credits you know you are witnessing an Allen film. I was fairly enchanted by this tale of a bored Bronx boy who feels a move to Hollywood is necessary to get away from a dysfuntional family only to find new problems in the land of stardom. Changes galore ensue as he's swept up in a whirlwind that will change his life.

    What truly satisfied me in the film was the appearance of JEANNIE BERLIN, daughter of Elaine May who earned a Best Supporting Oscar and Golden Globe Nomination a gazillion years ago for the original 'The Heartbreak Kid'. She was a big hit even with 1975's 'Shiela Levine is Dead and Living in New York'. She then fell off the radar as a major star but still appearing in some film, television and Broadway. But no one ever knew of these mini projects. So seeing her in this Allen film was a positive dream come true. I did like the film but I'm bolstering my score to an eight in total delight in having Jeannie Berlin back in a major motion picture.
