5.0 out of 5 starsUsually misunderstood, this film is one of Allen's best!
By C. Bardi on January 1, 2003
Format: DVD
This film IS enjoyable: great actors, funny lines, and perfect atmosphere. Many of those who don't enjoy it say it is confusing, but the film can be easily understood as an allegory for the search for meaning (existentialism). A strangler-at-random serves as the representative of death, while the hapless characters try to figure out their lives and stay out of the strangler's way at the same time. You get to see all the "solutions" to the problem of life and death played out: sex, artistry, religion, science, childbearing, mob thinking, they're all there. As a perfect foil to all of these perspectives Allen plays a snivelling "everyman" with comic brilliance.
If you really want to enjoy this movie, read the pulitzer prize- winning book, The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker (the same book Diane Keaton threw at Woody in Annie Hall!). If The Denial of Death is cake, Shadows and Fog is the frosting.

5.0 out of 5 starsMassively Underrated
By Joshua Miller VINE VOICE on December 16, 2006
Format: DVD
Woody Allen's "Shadows and Fog" has been called a "misfire" and is, in a sense, a forgotten film by Allen. It's hardly mentioned in conversations about his work. I consider myself a pretty big fan of Woody Allen, but the only reason I rented the movie was because John Malkovich was in it. Turns out, this is one of my favorite Woody Allen movies (I've seen 13). It's funny, well acted, has a huge array of stars, has perfect black & white cinematography, and is a pretty damn good movie. Allen plays Max Kleinman, a man who has fallen into a deep sleep only to be rudely awakened by his neighbors. They want his help in finding a serial strangler and Max, apparently, has a part in helping find him. Problem is, Max doesn't know what his part in it is. As Max walks around the gloomy, foggy area fearing the strangler will strike he encounters a bunch of quirky characters. One is Irmy (Mia Farrow), a circus sword-swallower who has ran away after catching her lover, Clown (Malkovich) cheating on her (with Madonna, no less). Before Max and Irmy actually run into each other, Irmy runs into a brothel that is occupied by such familiar faces as Jodie Foster, Lily Tomlin, and Kathy Bates. After she makes $700 for a one-night stand with John Cusack, she finally runs into Max. The movie's got a huge cast, with some actors' only turning up for a few moments. Some of the players include William H. Macy, Donald Pleasence, John C. Reilly, and many others. The movie has a gloomy, shadowy, and foggy (fitting, I guess) atmosphere which might be paying homage to early film-noir movies. The movie, like many Allen films, is fueled almost entire by dialogue and all of it's good and almost all of it's interesting. There are a few quotable lines in here.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsLight satire of a dark theme. Great atmosphere. Rewatchable
By B. Marold HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on April 2, 2005
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
`A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy' and `Shadows and Fog' are two of Woody Allen's `second tier movies, less highly regarded than `Annie Hall', `Manhattan', and `Hannah and Her Sisters', but nonetheless a great pleasure to watch over and over again for anyone who has a taste for Allen's movies. The fact that Allen's movies, even these parodies of classic works and genres are primarily about characters and their personalities, passions, and foibles rather than about story, so you don't loose the primary reason for watching the movie as you do when you watch `The Maltese Falcon' or `Die Hard' or even `The Terminator' for the first time. I have seen both of these movies several times and I constantly find new pleasures in the dialogue.

Aside from their both being genre parodies, both movies share several other aspects, not the least of which is Allen's usual well oiled crew plus great `visiting' Director of Photography. I am constantly amazed at the consistently high level of quality in the filming of Allen's movies, since he has a great reputation for bringing his works in within schedule and under budget. Part of his economy is probably due to the fact that while Allen as director is not in the same league as Martin Scorsese or even Clint Eastwood, lots of actors drop what they are doing to be able to appear in the next Woody Allen film. And, they probably appear for a lot less money than they would for Marty or Clint. I also sense in some scenes that Allen lets little flubs go to the final print which Scorsese, for example, would reshoot until it was perfect.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsfrom the greatest era of Allen's films
By Love Thy Enemy VINE VOICE on December 13, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
whatever else, one really finds that finest and most enduring films of the entire Woody Allen opus comes from his open collaboration with Mia Farrow.

Sure, Alice is a tad weaker, but we do have Zelig and of course his greatest and deepest film of all time, Broadway Danny Rose.

All that came before Mia is practice at refining his craft.

All that comes after Mia cries that he has lost his mind and his heart is not really in it.

But this forgotten gem is also of his apex.

Enter the mystery of this movie like a great novel and discover its hidden treasures throughout

some reviewers allege allusions to films which ring falsely to me; this product is so richly multi-faceted a gem that each will see what each will see, like the mirror illusion of the circus grand finale

here we may see allusions to everything from Seventh Seal in the central traveling circus couple, with its virgin birth

In fact the homicidal maniac may be seen as the Seventh Seal's randomized Death

to the EYE in Great Gatsby.

Much reflects Chaplin, in particular The Circus and Limelight, with its presentation of the horror of an audience not laughing, somewhat briskly brushed off by Malkovitch, but evocative nonetheless.

there is so much more to see; the presence of Donald Pleasance researching the anatomical source of this evil reminds the viewer sharply of that horror series in which he played a homicidal maniac youth's psychiatrist (Halloween or Jason, what was it again?)

And of course as always, the gestures, motion, expressions of Woody Allen himself bring to mind most of all his hero Bob Hope's Road movies.Read more ›

This was better than many other Woody Allen movies, because it holds your interest (being a murder mystery) and there were a few good lines in the funny situation comedy.
