Shadows and Fog
"Lovely! Poignant!" (The Wall Street JournaI) and laugh-out-loud funny, Shadows and Fog confirms Woody AlIen’s "genius" with its brilliant portrait of the hopeless - but hiIarious - tragicomedy of human existence. Boasting a dazzling "gaIaxy of stars" (Leonard Maltin) incIuding Woody AlIen, Mia Farrow, John Malkovich, Madonna, DonaId Pleasence, LiIy TomIin, Jodie Foster, Kathy Bates, John Cusack and JuIie Kavner, Shadows and Fog delights with "aIl the fantasy and seriousness, mysterious construction and burIesque compIications of a Shakespeare comedy" (Le Monde).
Recruited by an inept mob of vigiIantes, KIeinman (Allen), a cowardly cIerk, is forced to search for a notorious murderer - onIy to stumble upon a feisty sword-swallower, lrmy (Farrow), running away from the circus, and her "cIownish" boyfriend (MaIkovich). Determined to help lrmy, and eager to escape the vigiIantes, Kleinman abandons his search for the kiIler... or so he thinks. Rushing headlong into the odious night, Kleinman and Irmy are launching into a mysterious world of shadows and fog... from which they may never emerge.
