Elderly, elitist film professor Mort Rifkin (Wallace Shawn) made a grudging pilgrimage with his press agent wife Sue (Gina Gershon) to the San Sebastian Film Festival, where the entry by her director client Philippe (Louis Garrel) was getting undeserved buzz. He'd find distraction from Sue and Philippe's mutual attraction through the attentions of beautiful doctor Jo (Elena Anaya). Woody Allen's acerbic effort co-stars Christoph Waltz, Sergi López, Steve Guttenberg, Richard Kind. 92 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
"Rifkin's Festival" on Blu-Ray, released by MPI HOME VIDEO, is a delightful cinematic experience directed by the legendary Woody Allen. The film follows Mort Rifkin (Wallace Shawn), a neurotic New Yorker who accompanies his wife to the San Sebastián Film Festival in Spain, only to become obsessed with the notion that she?s having an affair with a charming French director. As Mort navigates jealousy and existential musings amidst picturesque European backdrops, viewers are treated to Allen?s signature wit and homage to classic cinema. The cast features Wallace Shawn ("The Princess Bride," "My Dinner with Andre"), Gina Gershon ("Bound," "Showgirls"), Louis Garrel ("The Dreamers," "Little Women"), Elena Anaya ("Talk to Her") and Christoph Waltz (two-time Academy Award winner for "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained").
