Woody Allen’s CASSANDRA’S DREAM at the Venice Film Festival 2007
by Andre Soares
Woody Allen’s Cassandra’s Dream was shown out of competition at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday. The film, which stars Colin Farrell, Ewan McGregor, and Tom Wilkinson, is described as a tragedy-cum-farce about two brothers who get in trouble as a result of their wealthy uncle’s machinations.
A few Woody Allen quotes from the festival:
"I’ve always been interested in murder and the dark side of drama," Allen told reporters. "Murder and guilt are classic ingredients of drama … and murder is one of the tools that playwrights and filmmakers have used for centuries."
…
"I’ve always worked with guilt. It’s a subject that lends itself to both sides of the coin."
…
"Life itself … is a tremendously tragic event, I mean a real mess, but it has its comic moments."
