Match point: perverse variation of A place in the sun

Match Point | W. Allen | 2003

Abstract

Match point has been considered a thematic sequel of a previous Woody Allen film, Crimes and Misdemeanors, taking as reference the action carried out by Chris Walton and comparing it with that of ophthalmologist, Martin Landau. Notwithstanding this, it is evident that Match Point is inspired on A place in the Sun, a 1951 film directed by George Stevens, which constitutes a sort of double negative. This article is supplementary to the analysis made of Steven’s film, basing this parallel on the existing correlation between the structures of neurosis and perversion.

Key words: Neurosis| Perversion| Fantasy

This article is, for the time being, only available in Spanish: Match point: variación perversa de A place in the sun
