More Detail:

Woody Allen’s HUSBANDS AND WIVES explores the collision of the need for commitment and the longing for personal freedom in the lives of two married couples. In his characteristically slippery way, Allen manages to affirm the reality of the human need for enduring, committed relationships while choosing to rebel against it in favor of personal autonomy. The marriage of Gabe and Judy Roth (Woody Allen and Mia Farrow) is impacted by the marital breakup of their best friends Jack and Sally. As Jack and Sally try out new partners, Judy and Gabe become involved in relationships that are not affairs, but still awaken tensions and unfulfilled longings that lead to the breakup of their marriage.

HUSBANDS AND WIVES is filmed in a choppy, anxious, cinema verite style, utilizing a hand-held camera. The scenes are interspersed with interviews with each character, separate and together, like a documentary or a news program. This creates a tension which complements the performances. Although fascinating in its perceptions, HUSBANDS AND WIVES is brought down by a multitude of sins. It will not take long for many viewers to become tired of these characters and their relentlessly selfish attitudes.
