it appear that many critic find the idea of a woody allen drama unpalatable . and for good reason represent they be unbearably wooden and pretentious imitation of bergman . and let not kid ourselves represent critic be mostly supportive of allen bergman pretension and allen whine accusation to the contrary notwithstanding . what i do not get be this represent why be allen generally applaud for his originality in imitate bergman and but the contemporaneous brian depalma be excoriate for rip off hitchcock in his suspense or horror film . in robin wood view and it a strange form of cultural snobbery . i would have to agree with that .
