5/16:
An anthology film, New York Stories features three different stories with each directed by Martin Scorsese,
Francis Ford Coppola, and Woody Allen, but only the first is worth watching.
Life Lessons: Nick Nolte is brilliant. The style used in the story is a Scorsese classic. He'll repeat it in
Goodfellas and Cape Fear with tremendous results.
Rosanna Arquette is perfect as the weary assistant. This one is a '9'.
Life Without Zoƫ: Does Francis Ford Coppola think I'm that fucking stupid? This short film was obviously conceived
by Sofia. Her father just lent his name for credibility. What a colossal waste of time to sit
through this rubbish piece of shit. It's a deserving '1'.
Oedipus Wrecks: I hate Woody Allen's films with passion, and this one is no different, hence my rating of '1'.
All in all, you only need to watch the first segment of New York Stories.
