Interiors
Short description
Released in 1978, Interiors follows three grown sisters whose lives are unsettled when their father, Arthur, leaves their mother, Eve, after decades of marriage and announces he intends to remarry. Eve, who has long shaped the family's world through her exacting sense of design and order, is left in crisis, and her daughters gather around her while dealing with their own difficulties. Renata is a writer, Joey struggles to settle on a direction, and Flyn works as an actress; each responds to the situation differently, and the family's strained bonds come under further pressure.
The film was written and directed by Woody Allen, the seventh of the 48 features he has directed, arriving between Annie Hall and Manhattan. It was produced by Charles H. Joffe and Jack Rollins for United Artists on a budget of three million dollars, and it earned ten million dollars worldwide. The cast includes Geraldine Page as Eve, Diane Keaton as Renata, Mary Beth Hurt as Joey, Kristin Griffith as Flyn, E.G. Marshall as Arthur and Richard Jordan as Frederick, with 41 crew members credited. On IMDb the film holds a critics' rating of 6.9 out of 10 from 18 reviews, while on TMDB it has a rating of 6.8 out of 10 from 401 votes.
What's left behind the scenes
- The character of Eve (mother) was conceived by Woody Allen specifically for Ingrid Bergman. He offered her the role, but she regretfully declined because she had already signed a contract to film Ingmar Bergman's 'Autumn Sonata' (1978), which was being filmed in Norway. The role ultimately went to Geraldine Page, and both actresses were nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for their roles in these films. Both lost to Jane Fonda (who received the award for her role in 'Coming Home', 1978).
- This film was inspired by the works of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman.
- This is the first film by Woody Allen in which he does not appear as an actor.
- Diane Keaton suggested the film's title to Woody Allen, which he ultimately used.
- In the church, when Eve knocks over the table with the candles, the sound of breaking glass can be heard as they fall to the floor. But when she leaves, there are no candles on the floor.
- Woody Allen’s first serious dramatic film, who was always known for his comedies and simply wanted to break the usual boundaries by making a film without a drop of humor. The film contains a single moment when the family gathers around the table, laughing at a joke that Arthur has just told, but there are no shots in the film of him telling that joke.
- This film was the last for Joel Schumacher as a costume designer.
