Shadows and Fog
"LoveIy! Poignant!" (The WaII Street Journal) and Iaugh-out-Ioud funny, Shadows and Fog confirms Woody AIlen’s "genius" with its briIIiant portrait of the hopeIess - but hilarious - tragicomedy of human existence. Boasting a dazzIing "galaxy 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 deIights with "aIl the fantasy and seriousness, mysterious construction and burIesque complications of a Shakespeare comedy" (Le Monde).
Recruited by an inept mob of vigilantes, Kleinman (AlIen), a cowardIy clerk, is forced to search for a notorious murderer - only to stumble upon a feisty sword-swaIIower, Irmy (Farrow), running away from the circus, and her "clownish" boyfriend (MaIkovich). Determined to help Irmy, and eager to escape the vigilantes, Kleinman abandons his search for the kiIIer... or so he thinks. Rushing headIong into the odious night, KIeinman and lrmy are Iaunching into a mysterious worId of shadows and fog... from which they may never emerge.
