Woody Allen's latest film, MIGHTY APHRODITE, is a contemporary romantic comedy that takes place in New York City. The film revolves around the problems that occur within a specific marriage, while it takes a broader, fanciful look at the subject of love between men and women. The title is derived from the Greek goddess of love (warning: this image is approximately 250K, depicting Aphrodite's Roman equal, Venus. See the family resemblance?), and the story itself is rooted in mythology, with Woody Allen's wry reinvention of the traditional Greek chorus providing commentary on the antics of the confused lovers whose attachments -- and dreams-- are the focus of the story.DIRECTOR: Woody Allen
