Mighty Aphrodite (DVD)

Mighty Aphrodite (1995) starring Woody Allen, Helena Bonham Carter, Mira Sorvino. Allen plays Lenny, a sportswriter who, after he and his wife Amanda (Carter) adopt a child, becomes obsessed with trying to find (and get acquainted with) the birth mother. To his dismay, the birth mother (Sorvino) turns out to be a porn actress and hooker. Meanwhile, Lenny and Amanda are drifting apart as she spends more and more time working on an art gallery she is opening. Sorvino won an Oscar for her performance. I found it delightful. The subtitles are pretty good. Grade: A-
