Woody Allen is really great...

Yesterday I watched on the DVD Woody Allen's recent film 'Match Point'. This film was acclaimed by critics and many considered it as the best film Woody Allen has made over the last decade. And I can understand why.
First of all, the screenplay was wonderfully written and chain of events and consequences is utterly logical and understandable. Plot twists are assumed to underscore the main theme of the film - that of luck and its influence over our life. But I will return to the philosophical justification a bit later.
Woody Allen chose an amazing cast and all the leading actors made their contribution to the film while at the same time not obscuring the message Mr. Allen hoped to convey. It was the first movie Allen made in England and filming all these complex nets of human relationships on such a beautiful sets that were provided by ever-changing London combining modern city landscape with old-fashioned houses and stunning weather added delicate flavour to this story.
Match Point has in parts close resemblance to film noir style but also some reverberations of authentic Allen's style. Still he departed from his usual manner in centring the film around some similar to him figure (in fact, often played by Allen himself). In Match Point there is no such figure. However, Woody turned to obviously enticing for him theme of how luck influences our lives. This film has very strong philosophical subtext that can be summed in one sentence: luck has ultimate influence on people's lives. Making such a uninspiring and somewhat controversial point, this film slips into illustrating this point. It is magnificently underscored in the ending when a culprit gets away with murder, gets loving family and good job due to his luck.
Before this the main protagonist wants to have all - money, sexual pleasure, love, position etc. His life is guided by greed and lust. He is very rotten from the very beginning. Still the women he is related to aren't angels as well. One - his wife - is very selfish, she just wants babies, she loves him but doesn't understand his soul. In fact, he is too deep for her. Another one - with whom he has a fateful affair - is neurotic. When this affair leads to pregnancy, the protagonist is facing a dilemma: he can lose family, job, money under the intense pressure of his pregnant lover who demands immediate revealing of the affair and solving the situation. Leading character is dithering but at last he comes up with the solution - murder. He murders his lover and his unborn child (and, in fact, one old lady - another one of many references to Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky) and gets away with it because of his unbelievable luck.
