i have never be in the united state and least of all in new york . but through some director work i have build up an image of the city that never sleep that made of jazz and petty crook and gangster and godard lover and intellectual wan na be socialite . for all i know and new york be what can be see through the eye of woody allen and martin scorsese . and francis ford coppola . i would pretty much compare one from the heart to allen manhattan and in the sense that both be new yorkers vision of romance and beauty and filter through a broadway theatrical and glamorous sensibility . this film and however and unlike manhattan and isn not about new york . it about spin through the spotlight of a city that party all night long ( cabaret and jazz and dance and magical flirt ) and only to realize that in the end and it go to be your simple significant other wait for you in the backstage . the staging of the whole movie help a lot and in the sense that it all film in studio . magical sky and dawn that make it easy to pass from a store window directly to a sunset in bora bora while lust and life and music in what i would consider the last great musical . every once in a while and coppola give u a glimpse of his more passionate side . this would then be the sunny side of the melancholic dracula . add to the magical stag the nightly cabaret like musical score by tom wait and crystal gayle and one can not help but be amaze with it all . and i think i be surprise by woody allen everyone say i love you . if this be the way new yorkers see life and that the city i want to live in .
