This collection of Woody Allen’s works brings together stories about the intersection of art and crime, as well as creative crisis. In one story, a young playwright agrees to mafia terms for the sake of success, leading to unpredictable consequences for his play. Another film follows a writer whose turbulent personal life blurs the line between reality and fiction. The third tells of small-time criminals who accidentally strike it rich selling baked goods while planning a bank robbery. Each film is filled with intellectual humor and ironic reflections on human weakness set in New York.
