A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy

In this Woody Allen comedy inspired by Shakespeare and Ingmar Bergman, three couples spend a weekend in the country, where everything appears peaceful until new romances start to develop... See the trailer here. What I like in a Woody Allen comedy is the fact that it is able to echo aspects of life, some of which are hard to accept, and in the meanwhile it still remains light and funny. Woody Allen has made many a cinematic attempt to convey his experience of life, and among those this is one of the most light-hearted ones, where human desires enter the world of spirits to become free while the part remaining human bears the (comic) consequences of that freedom. Only some will reach complete freedom by the end... I enjoyed this film thoroughly. As an example worthy of the film's spirit, let me just quote here the conclusion on the difference between love and sex: "Sex alleviates tension and love causes it."
