Husbands and Wives
Husbands and Wives, known as Maridos y esposas in Argentina and Mexico and as Husbands and Wives in Spain, is a Woody Allen film and the last one he filmed alongside his then sentimental partner Mia Farrow. The film, in addition to being an achievement in terms of script and performances, shows an effective use of the camera in hand, with realism to the scenes, and directly influences the rhythm.
As it was revealed after the premiere of this film, Allen was probably filming his current situation, since shortly after his separation from Mia Farrow (whose adoptive daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, has been the filmmaker's wife since 1997) became known, with who had been a sentimental couple for several years, although they never married.
