"I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown."-- Woody Allen

Alice
Directed by Woody Allen
MGM/UA 12/90 DVD/VHS Feature Film
PG-13 


"In her best and most rounded screen performance to date, Mia Farrow plays Alice, a wealthy and pampered New Yorker who lives on the upper East Side with her stockbroker husband Doug (William Hurt) and their two children. Despite the ministrations of a housekeeper, a cook, a nanny, and a personal trainer, Alice is troubled by back pains. She takes the advice of a friend and goes to see Dr. Yang (Keye Luke), a chain-smoking Chinatown doctor who practices acupuncture and herbal medicine. He quickly and wisely realizes that her troubles are not physical but psychological. Alice, you see, is a lapsed Catholic who has lost touch with her feelings and spiritual impulses."
