Husbands and Wives

Husbands And Wives is Woody Allen’s view of marriage that has lost its luster, as only he can tell it. His use of a hand-held camera and character interviews in the first half of the story adds to the dizzy effect of an amateur home move. The film examines the musical-chairs behavior of two New York couples who re-examine their marriages, and find themselves wanting more. They pair-up with younger, sexier paramours and enjoy again the pleasures of fresh passion. The story evolves from the fictional characters’ dissatisfaction with their lives through the whole gamut of emotions and relationships with others to the final conclusion.
