Set in contemporary London, Cassandra's Dream is a powerful and thrilling story about two brothers (Ewan McGregor, Colin Farrell) who are desperate to better their troubled lives. One is a chronic gambler in debt over his head, and the other is a young man in love with a beautiful actress (newcomer Hayley Atwell) he has recently met. Their lives gradually become entangled into a sinister situation with intense and unfortunate results. Written and directed by Academy Award winner Woody Allen, the film also stars Tom Wilkinson and Sally Hawkins. The score is by Phillip Glass and the cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond.


Woody Allen doing a British film? I'm definitely intrigued enough to watch. Unlike some people, I don't think Woody has deteriorated with age. He just has new things to say and has been playing around with new ways to say them. I'm interested to see what he can do here.
