Shadows and Fog

Set in a foggy, unnamed European city, this 1991 film directed by Woody Allen follows a timid clerk, played by Allen himself, who becomes entangled in a manhunt for a serial strangler. The movie features an ensemble cast including Mia Farrow, John Malkovich, and Madonna, adding depth and variety to the narrative. The film’s unique blend of dark comedy and suspense is underscored by its homage to German Expressionist cinema. While it didn’t win any major awards, its atmospheric cinematography and star-studded cast make it a notable entry in Allen’s filmography. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
