Over the weekend, I watched the trailer for Cassandra’s Dream, Woody Allen’s upcoming London-set crime drama, and promptly forgot about it. Probably not a good sign, right? I’m actually fascinated by Woody Allen late-career turn towards class-passing morality plays set in Britain, but this trailer makes Cassandra out to be a muddle of Match Point and generic BBC kitchen sink. I bet there’s some measure of intentional misdirection going on here–after all, Woody never reveals much about his films before they’re seen. Take a look for yourself above.
