I like Woody Allen fine teller of souls, his prose snob and chiseled, his skeptical philosophizing, his gentle and unlikely to go beyond the limits . But when I get back, I always enjoy quest'andamento rhapsodic sketches made to art - and art! - On the beat comic element of surprise, the pun .
no exception, and indeed it should be noted, this very funny Take the Money and Run , a title of 1969, which has not lost interest, despite the glaze is very dated. Built as a parody of a documentary on "Life & Works" of a comic villain, the film tells, in its way, the story of Virgil Starkwell mature, busy with work - that's criminal - which sometimes fails to bear fruit.
The love affair with the lovely Louise (Janet Margolin ) seems to allude to the poem and then escape without age Chaplin's Modern Times. In fact, the whole film moves away, scene after scene, the models are involved. The figure of Take the Money and Run is, in fact, freedom, the ride to a light-hearted comedy and postmodern, quotes and irreverent toward what is "classic."
No doubt Take the Money and Run is the work of a genius of cinema, but is not a work from which it can predict the poetry that Woody Allen also will spare no - even ironically - in the subplot of the film thereafter. This improbable research race, this galloping fun between memorabilia of all kinds is as cold - if not dry - counterpoint intelligence disillusioned art of telling the story of a man, striking at the heart of art itself: the narrator.
