The anguished tale of two married couples, as Sydney Pollack leaves Judy Davis for a gravity-defying aerobics instructor and Woody Allen replaces Mia Farrow with baby-faced Juliette Lewis.

Straight-to-camera monologues chop everything up still further, the characters dissecting their actions with the benefit of hindsight.
