Deconstructing Harry Reviews

It has been a while since I saw this flick but I’m pretty sure I actually saw the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released. It is usually considered as one of the better movies delivered by Woody Allen in the 90’s. Indeed, it was nominated for the Academy Award for the Best Screenplay and at some point, it was even included in the amazing list ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ but it has been removed later on. Well, in spite of this, I actually had a rather hard time to really care about the damned thing. I mean, there was a really impressive cast involved and it was definitely more ambitious than most of the movies he made during the last 20 years and, yet, I didn’t really feel much connection with the material. Basically, Allen tried to make something similar to Bergman’s and Fellini’s work but, as far as I’m concerned, it didn’t really work and I thought it was one of his most pretentious movies. On the other hand, I was much younger when I saw it and maybe I should give it a 2^nd chance at some point. Anyway, to conclude, even though it didn’t really work for me, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Woody Allen’s work.
