Looks a bit (worryingly) like Eastenders to me...

Here's a reveiw I've found elswhere:

Here's someone who liked it, and who seems to be on Woody's wavelength. His
name is Jason Solomons and he's an arts blogger for the Guardian Unlimited.
Here's his brief reaction to Cassandra's Dream:

"In Venice, you spend most of the time in darkened theatres, sometimes from
8:30am until after midnight, grabbing an espresso and a panini in brief
intervals.

It's weird, because many of the films have deep resonances and you find
yourself walking round in a funny mood, wondering why ... until you remember
you've just been through an emotional experience. The concentration of
critics, PRs and celebrities (and security guards everywhere) means there is
little time to enjoy a film before you're being frisked and whisked into a
press conference.

I found myself terribly sad last Sunday after seeing Woody Allen's latest
London movie, Cassandra's Dream. It's a strange film and I think rather
brilliant. But it is very moody, and tragic as two brothers (Ewan McGregor
and Colin Farrell) head towards the bleakest ending I can recall in Woody's
work.

This is a fascinating late work from a great artist. The direction may be a
bit unflashy these days and the accents are ropey, but the score from Philip
Glass is terrific, London is a stifling and foreboding backdrop and the tale
is the stuff of Greek drama. You simply don't see this on film any more."

Sounds like an awesome movie. Philip Glass is my favorite movie composer.
He's scored Truman Show and The Hours.
