It turns out this is another Woody Allen film, with him playing "Isaac," a man struggling through a mid-life phase while attempting to write a book. He’s not alone in his troubles; his former wife, now a lesbian named "Jill" (Meryl Streep), intends to publish an expose—or maybe something more spiteful—while still collecting alimony. Her behavior isn't going to change when he begins seeing "Tracy" (Mariel Hemingway), a woman significantly younger than himself. Tracy is easily swayed and seems captivated by her image of this older man, but it’s clear she will eventually feel let down. This might be because Isaac doesn’t envision a lasting connection with someone so young, and instead focuses his attention on the journalist "Mary" (Diane Keaton), who's also involved with his married friend "Yale" (Michael Murphy). Mary comes across as distant and self-important, but he remains intent on pursuing her—regardless of the potential damage to other relationships. The story unfolds against the backdrop of an island that serves as inspiration for his book, yet his personal life is chaotic; will he ever finish writing? Will he discover love? Ultimately, I perceived this as a beautifully shot exercise in self-indulgence that presents a selfish and imperfect person to the audience without truly making us invested. Perhaps the only character who holds some value is "Tracy," who from the beginning seems emotionally unprepared for what she’s gotten into. Hemingway does a good job of portraying her role's innocence and hopefulness, but overall this feels like a rather pessimistic look at society’s pursuit of fulfillment without genuine desire. The music by George Gershwin gives the black-and-white visuals a classic 1920s feel, and the film is visually and aurally appealing—when it isn't weighed down by overly verbose dialogue that attempts to entertain but frequently falls short for me. Is this art mirroring life or something else? I wasn’t particularly concerned.
