It’s a long movie. Three hours of action, anguish and angst. The fact that it is based on a true story makes it that much more poignant.

I may be imagining it, but Woody Allen seems to have taken a morbid tone with most of his movies. He seems almost obsessed with death and odd accents. Cassandra’s Dream follows in the footsteps of his last two pieces, asking questions about the moral dilemmas that each person has to face.
