You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger actually intrigues me a bit. It still has that certain quality that doesn’t endear me to Allen’s work, but I am at least interested this time around. Part of it is the fact that I find Freida Pinto absolutely intoxicating to watch. Although it may not be the film I look most forward to this year, it is nonetheless a film that I won’t dread going to see.
(Feel free to remove my film snob credit.)
Synopsis:
After Alfie leaves his wife Helena to pursue his lost youth and a free-spirited call girl named Charmaine, Helena abandons rationality and surrenders her life to the loopy advice of a charlatan fortune teller. happy in her marriage, Sally develops a crush on her handsome art gallery owner boss, Greg, while Roy, a novelist nervously awaiting the response to his latest manuscript, becomes moonstruck over Dia, a mystery woman who catches his gaze through a nearby window. Despite these characters’ attempts to dodge their problems with pipe dreams and impracticable plans, their efforts lead only to heartache, irrationality, and perilous hot water.
