Husbands and Wives

About This Movie

Husbands and Wives, a Woody Allen gem from '92, is this raw exploration of marriage wrapped in comedy and drama. The film has this almost documentary feel, with the handheld camerawork giving it a sense of intimacy. It’s interesting how the pacing allows for these long, reflective moments that reveal the characters' vulnerabilities. The chemistry between the cast, especially with Allen and Mia Farrow, is palpable, and you can really feel the weight of their dialogue. Themes of infidelity, personal growth, and disillusionment play out in a manner that feels both candid and poignant. It’s a snapshot of relationships that doesn't shy away from the messiness of life, which makes it stand out among Allen's works.
