As a Woody Allen movie fan, I found "Rifkin's Festival" very enjoyable and a good addition to his body of work. I laughed. I even teared up at one point. Wallace Shawn was given a great showcase, and rises to the occasion. The locations are gorgeous and Vittorio Storaro's cinematography is lush. I loved how Woody used classic movies, with a top notch cast, in Shawn's nightmare scenes. For those waiting for a new Allen film, this does not disappoint.
