Judy Davis as Sally

Video (9)

Allen felt comfortable enough at this point in his career to experiment with a hand held camera and occasional jump cuts. The result is somewhat unsettling-just what is needed to match the psudeo-documentary theme. As Allen explained to Stig Bjorkman, "I've always been thinking that so much time is wasted and so much is devoted to the prettiness of films and the delicacy and the precision. And I said to myself, why not start to make some films where only the content is important? Pick up the camera, forget about the dolly, just hand-hold the thing and get what you can. And then, don't worry about color correcting it, don't worry about mixing it so much, don't worry about all this precision stuff and see what happens. When you feel like cutting, just cut. Don't worry about that its going to jump or anything. Just do what you want, forget about anything but the content of the film. And that's what I did".

Not much to talk about here-just Allen's usual mono sound track.
