Sure this film is interesting for its revealing Woody Allen on his 1997 jazz tour of Europe, but more fascinating to me are the last 10 minutes. Starting at 1 hour, 35 minutes in, we see Woody returning to New York from the tour with a stop at his parents apartment. Gets most interesting at 1:37 when memories are shared of Woodys childhood. Such a hoot to hear his father still lament that Woody did not become a pharmacist and his mother never getting over that he didnt settle down with a nice Jewish girl. This with Woodys wife, Soon Yi, in earshot.
