A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S SEX COMEDY (1982)

Woody Allen's take on "A Midsummer's Night Dream" is a sensual comedic rendezvous amidst the backdrop of serene summertime countryside. Isolated amidst the flourishing flora and fauna of a summertime countryside the film presupposes a light modernistic gentle satire on "urbanites and civility". The film constructs the many blunders and revelations of sexuality when three couples hiatus in the countryside heat. As in Shakespeare's comedy, mismatched loves ensue, and unrequited love comes back to complicate things in this tell-tale Woody Allen film that marks its spot amongst romantic comedies with its innumerous one-liners and trite, albeit uncannily apt "truisms".

The perfect cast includes: Woody Allen, Mary Steenburgen, Mia Farrow, Jose Ferrer, Julie Hagerty, and Tony Roberts.

Written and directed by: Woody Allen.
