A writer (Woody Allen) is being honored by his college
(which incidentally expelled him) but can’t find anyone to attend with due to
his alienation of friends and family through his work, which is brought to life
in heightened, mirrored vignettes. Allen’s reworking of Wild Strawberries is a self-revealing and at times jarring and
atypically profane black comedy that employs an irritating jump-cut technique
but is still mostly very funny.
