The visual and verbal styles of the film are consciously similar to that of Ingmar Bergman. Critics have also noted the apparent borrowing of visual techniques used by other highly regarded European directors such as Michelangelo Antonioni, Federico Fellini and François Truffaut. In the 'European' style, the film is subdued and features a considerable amount of dialogue. Allen explores his own symbology.
