Whatever Works

opens at Dendy Portside October 15

In Woody Allen’s new comedy, Larry David plays Boris Yellnikoff, an eccentric, pessimistic New Yorker – a quantum physicist and all round grouch - who abandons his privileged upper class life to lead a more bohemian existence. He meets a young cheerful girl from the South, and when her family get involved the entanglements become a sparkling collision. The witty, brilliant screenplay is vintage Woody Allen; the city of Manhattan a fabulous character; and
the terrific cast create a great mix of hilarity, neuroses, joie de vivre and love.

Once again, Allen has brought together a terrific cast – lead by Larry David, the creator of Seinfeld and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Joining him is Evan Rachel Wood who received acclaim for her role in The Wrestler and Patricia Clarkson, star of Vicky Cristina Barcelona,Elegy, Good Night and Good Luck and the upcoming Shutter Island.
