I wrote this review a long time ago and am posting it now. After watching a few more Woody Allen films, I don't think I really like his style. Gorgeous in appearance but empty in content, as if it was him.
Here is the review content:
I haven't seen much of Woody Allen's movies before, and I don't know what style he is. But after reading "Coffee Commune", I have a certain understanding. Hollywood mansion, sunset, rich tycoon in a decent suit, wearing my favorite typical American twenties and thirties women's clothing (that kind of fringed dress + not too flashy eyeliner + playful and modern short hair) The graceful girl, coupled with the melodious and mellow jazz and warm yellow tones from beginning to end, constitute such a love movie marked as a comedy category.
One article said, "Woody Allen writes about death, sex, and immorality, and he is good at drawing on the advantages of silent comedy, with his own set of witty dialogues with a strong local color, especially the New York intellectual style. Witty." This film is no more than that. The beautiful but actually very scumbag heroine, the infatuated man who can't forget the heroine has been betraying his wife spiritually. But Woody presents these indecent factors in a beautiful way. The final shot stops at the eyes of both of them reminiscing about the past. These plots are all dissolved in the singing of the jazz singer, in a very comfortable way.
As far as I am concerned, I am not very impressed with the plot of this film, but the aesthetics in the film are very impressive to me. The biggest highlight is the scenes of Blake Lively (Queen S) who plays the male lead's wife. A woman like her is truly a stunner. Blonde hair, graceful figure, charming smile... In short, this movie is not bad to watch, I recommend it.
