Woody Allen stars in and directs this comedy drama. Harry Block (Allen) is a renowned novelist with a habit for using those around him as inspiration for the characters in his books. Just as he is to be awarded an honorary doctorate by the college that expelled him, he suffers with the dreaded writer's block and risks losing his girlfriend, Fay (Elisabeth Shue), to rival writer and old friend Larry (Billy Crystal). The film's latter half, Harry's existential roadtrip, is a tragicomedy homage to Ingmar Bergman's 'Wild Strawberries' (1957), as Harry's fictional characters come alive to challenge him.

Additional InformationUpon returning in glory to the college from which he was expelled, sexually voracious and dyspeptic writer Harry Block can find no companions for his trip--except, that is, for a hooker he's hired. The trouble with Harry, as it were, is that he's alienated everyone in his life, from a string of wives and psychotherapists to all his living relatives, by rehashing their dirty little secrets in his fatuous, mean-spirited writing. A new height of self-loathing for introspective auteur Allen, who meditates upon a self-reflection theme based on Bergman's WILD STRAWBERRIES.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...Viscously funny....Mr. Allen writes outstandingly acerbic dialogue....The best one-liners, like the whole film, mix melancholy with self-knowledge..., USA Today - ...A daring movie..., Sight and Sound - ...Very funny....A dazzling job..., Entertainment Weekly - "...HARRY is scorching self-parody as comic triumph..." -- Rating: A-
