Cafe Society - 2016 - 6/10

Waste of superb cinematography and plum cast.
Woody Allen re-explores the past again, this time 1930’s Hollywood and Gotham.
Young man tries and fails to make his mark in Tinsel Town - career and romance.
Parallel story of his mobster brother building a more lucrative, if dubiously successful, criminal path.
There was an excellent film in here, I’m convinced, but this ended up a muddled mess.
The two storylines do not connect well, and characters are undeveloped.
Final half of film ran out of steam.
OK Allen film. Not his best, not his worst. Disappointing for me.
