New York Stories Martin Scorsese / Francis Ford Coppola / Woody Allen 1989 USA Three featurettes which have little relevance to the supposed setting: "Life Lessons", in which a painter tries to live with a younger woman; "Life Without Zoe", which deals with a 12-year-old rich girl's attempt to reunite her parents; and "Oedipus Wrecks", wherein a Jew deals with his overbearing mother. Scorsese experiments and fails with a sour romance story; Allen's featurette is merely an elongated sketch of a Jewish mother joke; and in between them, Coppola's short is a dreadful mess full of crass acting and a shitstorm of a script. Definitely Scorsese's worst, probably Allen's worst, possibly Coppola's worst.
