An excellent and underrated movie. I thought Page gave an astonishingly accomplished and chilling performance. How fitting that she kills herself by walking immaculately dressed into the cold wild ocean, what a metaphor for her interior. Maureen Stapleton was marvelous too. I thought it was really quite moving when it was her character who breathed life back in to Joey, the life Page's character had sucked out of all those around her. It is regrettable that neither garnered an Academy Award for their performances. I really did think that Geraldine Page outshone Jane Fonda that year.
@Fabinho Dantas Flappers sadly of course Academy Awards are often awarded not on merit but on how much money a film has made (there should be an award for "The film that made us the most money this year") or on favouritism etc.
The amazing thing is any other actress would have portrayed Eve as cold blooded but Geraldine Page infused her with humanity. Maureen Stapleton as Pearl is exactly what Joey needs she will now provide the love and encouragement that Joey has been denied.
The amazing image of the mother sitting at her dressing table and their father reaching down to kiss her on the shoulder and her standing before he is able, then his pain at her rejection. Everything unravelling before the children even noticed. Remarkable film and remarkable performances.
I have watched this movie a few times and never noticed that before. He stays in the hunched over position for a few seconds because he couldn't believe the rejection.
@@davidsheriff9274 Yes is such a beautiful sequence. Its so incredibly well shot and framed. This whole last 14 minutes of the film is incredible. Its been so long since I posted so I just watched it again and fully realise how dangerous it was for Mary Beth Hurt and Sam Waterston to be out in the ocean, shooting that sequence. I know there would have been dozens of emergency people around but still. The sound effects of the ocean were ramped up for maximum effect but it was still treacherous. It is such a privilege to have a film that shows the best of E G Marshall and Geraldine Page. And Maureen Stapleton literally breathing life into the family.
@@lucindaarmour7422 it's interesting that you thought Maureen Stapleton breathed life into the family. I thought the opposite. I felt the children and their husbands were embarrassed by her. She was a nice person and good for E G Marshall after he spent so many years with a mentally ill wife, but the children felt she was not an intellectual like they were. This story reminded me of my parents. My mother had borderline personality disorder and when she separated from my father, he was able to move on and meet someone else but she remained alone and depressed. Have you seen"Another Woman" with Gena Rowlands? It's another one of Woody's unrecognized masterpieces.
@@davidsheriff9274 You are right David. The children dislike and resent her. She has rattled their world. She brings color and a working class honesty to their refined and closed lives. She is beneath them and they hate her for being with their father and hate him for thinking a woman of this kind can replace the mother they love and admire. They do not like her at all. It is their father who has found someone real and alive to be with. She does, however, save a life. There would have to be a radical shift in their perception of her now they know she has saved one of them. They may never like her but they can not hate her. Yes, Another Woman is amazing and so is September. Similar dark, melancholy tone.
@@lucindaarmour7422 I have not seen September, I think I will will watch it tonight. Thanks for the recommendation. Who are some more of your favorite directors? I like Ingmar Bergman, Lars Von Trier, Michael Haneke and Tod Solenz.
the thing that really hook me is the moment that the girl call for her mother in the dark and she didn't being there to respond, and its reflected to what she has been declined when needed every time as a daughter. but out of nowhere in the middle of the night its Pearl, the one that she cant stand of and never agree with father decision, that response to her right away when she heard the word mother, and she even laugh a little with her wrong assumption. A really sad and moving ending at the same time, totally master at work.
Very cool that Allen directly references the diary monologue from the 'Cries and Whispers' ending. Bergman gave her transcendence, but here Allen gives her only a release--an emptiness of the inner self. Quite a neat touch.
I just realized that the conversation between Joey and Eve is in the middle of the night, but the suicide scene is in the day. The windows are totally dark during the conversation, no dawn approaching, then it is suddenly day. Oh well, poetic license I suppose.
Great performances. From Geraldine and Maureen, and Sam Waterson and Mary Beth Hurt. But this last scene at the window… I feel like Allen just clobbered me with a Bergman baseball bat. It detracts.
@@ab4845 This guy was the one in the line behind Woody waiting for the movie in Annie Hall. Wish Marshall McLuhan was still here so he could tell him off.
@@skymasterson5833 This made me laugh out loud. Interiors has its heavy-handed moments, but overall in my opinion it is an excellent film with an astonishing performance by Geraldine Page. Userick was obviously expecting another Allen comedy.
@@skymasterson5833 haha, right. The guy that said"I appreciate Samuel Beckett, but he doesn't hit me on a gut level". Whenever someone sees a piece of art they don't understand, they call it pretentious.
I think Eve committed suicide somewhere else and this is a psychic experience. No sees Eve but one daughter. We never see the body. Each member of the family wakes up knowing something is wrong.

Jane Fonda was [so good] in Coming Home.
@@patr70 I'm not denying that she was good but I thought that Page's performance was a tour de force.
She did. Definitely deserved the Oscar for her performance in Interiors.
Page, Clayburgh and Bergman deserved that Oscar much more than Fonda. Even Mason was better.
Fonda is good, but she was the weakest nominee.
@Fabinho Dantas Flappers sadly of course Academy Awards are often awarded not on merit but on how much money a film has made (there should be an award for "The film that made us the most money this year") or on favouritism etc.
A true cinema masterpiece. Every frame, a work of art.
I agree with you.
The amazing thing is any other actress would have portrayed Eve as cold blooded but Geraldine Page infused her with humanity. Maureen Stapleton as Pearl is exactly what Joey needs she will now provide the love and encouragement that Joey has been denied.
Sublime and perfectly filmed. Geraldine is simply unforgettable, extraordinary and brilliant
Geraldine Page should have won an Academy Award. Also, never understood the bad reviews.
The best actress in American cinema ... Geraldine Page.
The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
The queen of all drama queens! How fitting she should end the film by walking straight into the ocean to drown.
Totally agree and she gave the performance of her career in "Sweet Bird Of Youth" but finally won the Oscar she so deserved for The Trip To Bountiful

I'll never get over this ending.
Fantastic monologue in the beginning!! Nothing else was said mostly but yet all is said by the actors emotions!!!
This suicide scene is one the saddest I saw in movies.
Very cool that Allen directly references the diary monologue from the 'Cries and Whispers' ending. Bergman gave her transcendence, but here Allen gives her only a release--an emptiness of the inner self. Quite a neat touch.
what a sad and awesome film of 78
That's a truly powerful scene.
Brilliant acting; exquisite cinematography. One of Allen's best films.
Remember: it’s a movie. They are actors. 🐧
i remember the suicide scene much darker than this... is it me or this print is much more clear?
That water must have been freezing.
A masterpiece...
Wonderful movie, GREAT actors
"It's very peaceful..."
I just realized that the conversation between Joey and Eve is in the middle of the night, but the suicide scene is in the day. The windows are totally dark during the conversation, no dawn approaching, then it is suddenly day. Oh well, poetic license I suppose.
I genuinely think it’s because of the camera’s they used.
OMG THIS SCENE!! 12:35 a frame of magic...true cinema
Certainly was when Bergman did it years earlier
Can't help to but think of how he parodied this Bergman inspired framing in "Love and Death" in 1975.
@@NewsHistorian wheat...
That was a dark movie!
Great performances. From Geraldine and Maureen, and Sam Waterson and Mary Beth Hurt.
But this last scene at the window… I feel like Allen just clobbered me with a Bergman baseball bat.
It detracts.
You can see Altman and Bergman in that last shot.... ^__^
Yes, since that's where he lifted it from
Fade out
Great scene, should have been in b&w
Woody remainds me of Chekov, Houellebecq
A great detail that at the end when Joey is writing, her lack of artistic talent is evident in that her recollections are banal
The words she writes are in fact banal,but what she actually says to her Mother.. THOSE are the ones that matter,being filled with angst.
Stiff, pretentious, and laughably bad. Woody's worst.
Ingmar Bergman strongly disagreed with you. :)
Gotta love these keyboard wannabe pseudo-critics... :)
