Mighty Aphrodite

Woody Allen's 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, and the story itself is rooted in mythology, with Woody Allen's wry re-invention of the traditional Greek chorus providing commentary on the foibles of the contemporary lovers whose attachments and dreams are the focus of the story.
