One of Woody Allen's most beautifully shot films, I watched Match Point (2005) last week. A film of entrapment, lust, obsession, deception, and crime; it wasn't what I expected. It was better. Is it just me, or do all the character's seem very two-dimensional and cardboard-cut-out in Allen's films, apart from when they give into some form of illicit lust? That's when you see the real person come out. I think one of the saddest things about this film is that some characters never achieve this release, they are trapped in their own, 2-dimensional worlds of blind obsession and social position, remaining oblivious to it all.
