Description

This is Woody Allen's homage to Ingmar Bergman. E.G. Marshall and Geraldine Page portray the parents of three sisters: Diane Keaton, Kristin Griffith and Mary Beth Hurt. Marshall is wealthy; Page is mentally disturbed. When Marshall announces that he is leaving Page, she starts to totally disintegrate. Marshall plans to marry Maureen Stapleton. The three daughters rush to their mother's side to see her through her crisis. But the daughters have trials of their own: Keaton has a troubled marriage to a "hack" novelist (Richard Jordan); Hurt has great talent but is destructively unfocused; and Griffith is an overly self-centered television actress. How this family works out its difficulties is the focus of this stylish, brilliantly acted and impressively told story.

    One of my all-time favorite Woody Allen movies. Amazing performance by the incredible and inimitable Geraldine Page. If you think this movie is boring, go look in the mirror, that'll most certainly put you to sleep.
  • Simply outstanding.

    A quiet, sophisticated and often tense character study with terrific acting on all fronts. Visually stylized, incredibly spare and beautifully nuanced, this film is art, pure and simple.
  • Interiors - My Much Changed Opinion Of the Movie

    I saw this movie when it was first released and believed then that it was an amazing movie. The starkness of the sets mirrored the starkness of the lives of it's charachters. But it is now 31 years since I have seen it again. I still believe that it is a masterpiece of starkness, but the charachters have no depth, the relationships no meaning. The only 3 actors who did anything but walk thru the film were E. G. Marshall, Maureen Stapleton and a wonderful Sam Waterston. This movie has proven to me that memory is malleable. My bottom line opinion is that this movie is boring, badly written and a waste of the money that I spent for it. I should have rented it. To anyone who is thinking of buying it: think again. It is terrible.
  • The last 10 minutes are great....

    This movie would probably be wonderful but it lacks one critical element that makes an ok movie soar...emotional music. This movie lacks music and REALLY suffers because of that. I understand this is a low budget film, but even just a simple piano score would have really helped this film. The last ten minutes are actually quite good, but some folks may never make it to the end.
  • great performances, flawed story

    woody allen got in over his head on this one. the story might've played out better as a novel. but that does not take away from the brilliant performances.

    This is a smart and heart-breaking drama about family and relationships. Great direction, writing and acting. One of Allen's dark films, so don't expect sophisticated comedy.
  • Masterpiece!!!

    One of the most sophisticated movies ever made about the universal vulnerability of the human situation, Interiors explores the downfall bred by obsessive perfectionism and the consuming desire to make one's life unique, masterfully working on that subtle metaphor between the interiors of life-worlds, in particular, the aesthetics of the flawless interiors that the mother loves to decorate, and the psychic interiority of these privileged and exquisite urban types fraught with intellectual and emotional insecurities, mental sickness, compulsive competitiveness, the burden of love and blood ties, and the obsession with death and the idea of the futility of all. Woody Allen at his best. Highly recommended.
