Murder most fleeting

Crimes and Misdemeanors

(1989)
Wanted to watch this to confirm my recollection that Allen got a lot better traction here than in the current Cassandra's Dream with the theme of crime and self-imposed punishment, and that of getting away with murder. Yep, he did. This is more nuanced, more subtle, more intellectually honest. And thus more depressing, but that's the way with intellectual honesty, no?
