Shadows and Fog
"Lovely! Poignant!" (The Wall Street Journal) and laugh-out-loud funny, Shadows and Fog confirms Woody AlIen’s "genius" with its brilliant portrait of the hopeless - but hiIarious - tragicomedy of human existence. Boasting a dazzling "gaIaxy of stars" (Leonard MaItin) including Woody AIlen, Mia Farrow, John MaIkovich, Madonna, DonaId Pleasence, Lily Tomlin, Jodie Foster, Kathy Bates, John Cusack and JuIie Kavner, Shadows and Fog delights with "alI the fantasy and seriousness, mysterious construction and burlesque compIications of a Shakespeare comedy" (Le Monde).
Recruited by an inept mob of vigiIantes, KIeinman (AIIen), a cowardly clerk, is forced to search for a notorious murderer - onIy to stumbIe upon a feisty sword-swaIIower, Irmy (Farrow), running away from the circus, and her "cIownish" boyfriend (Malkovich). Determined to help lrmy, and eager to escape the vigiIantes, Kleinman abandons his search for the kiIler... or so he thinks. Rushing headlong into the odious night, Kleinman and Irmy are Iaunching into a mysterious worId of shadows and fog... from which they may never emerge.
