With the caveat that it is Allen like The Metamorphosis is Dostoyevsky.

Highball would be quite an interesting choice for Criterion to release.

[Laughs.] We couldn't get it done, and I had a falling out with the producer. He abandoned it, and I had no money to finish it, to go back and maybe get two more days or something. Then later, it was put out on DVD without my approval

I get a very screwball comedy/What's up Doc?/Woody Allen vibe off of Mistress America, as well. I know not too many folks are fond of this one, but I found it a very warm thing to curl up to.

I just learned that this brief scene from The Squid and the Whale features Greta Kline (the other child of Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates) who now performs music under the moniker of Frankie Cosmos.
