Filmbar and RPC screening of Woody Allen's "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (1989) at the Research and Publication Centre (RPC) on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 6:00 pm.
Woody Allen is a filmmaker known for his singular blend of sharp wit, philosophical introspection, and a deep fascination with human flaws. What makes him unique is his ability to merge humour and melancholy, often shifting seamlessly between laugh-out-loud absurdity and quietly profound reflections on morality, love, and the meaning of life. His films frequently explore neurotic characters and moral gray areas, yet they remain deeply entertaining, thanks to his gift for sharp dialogue, ironic humour, and the way he captures the absurdity of everyday existence. Allen’s signature style lies in this balance — turning intimate, often uncomfortable human truths into stories that are both thought-provoking and darkly funny.
"Crimes and Misdemeanors" is a darkly comedic exploration of morality, guilt, and the choices people make when faced with moral dilemmas. The film weaves together two parallel stories: one about a successful man grappling with a life-altering ethical decision, and the other about a struggling filmmaker entangled in professional and romantic frustrations.
