Larry David stars as Boris, a misanthropic, suicidal ex-physicist whose bitter isolation is upended when he takes in a naive young runaway, played by Evan Rachel Wood, in Woody Allen's return to New York after years shooting in Europe. Written decades earlier for Zero Mostel, the script's fourth-wall-breaking cynicism suits David's own comic persona, resulting in one of Allen's more abrasive late-period comedies about chance, mortality, and finding connection against all logic. A minor entry that divided critics but offers a rare screen showcase for David outside 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'.
