Match Point - (Woody Allen;2005;UK/USA/Luxembourg)
An Irish man moves to London where he becomes acquainted with a family. However when he begins a relationship with a woman, he begins another affair with her brother's girlfriend.
I didn't know what to expect from this film but I was pleasantly surprised. It didn't even feel like a Woody Allen film. The story proved to be gripping, while wonderfully supported by it's actors, most notably Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Scarlett Johansson. I feared the ending as I felt that little connection from the beginning was going to aim for a predictable ending, but Allen swerves away from it, saving the film. The opera music used also sets a wonderful melancholy mood.
