Interiors is a 1978 drama film written and directed by Woody Allen. Featured performers are Kristin Griffith, Mary Beth Hurt, Richard Jordan, Diane Keaton, E. G. Marshall, Geraldine Page, Maureen Stapleton and Sam Waterston.
Page received a BAFTA Film Award for Best Supporting Actress and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. The film received four other Oscar nominations, two for Allen's screenplay and direction, one for Stapleton as Best Actress in a Supporting Role and another for Mel Bourne and Daniel Robert for their art direction and set decoration. It is Allen's first fully-fledged film in the drama genre.
The film centers around the three daughters of Arthur (E. G. Marshall), a corporate attorney, and Eve (Geraldine Page), an interior decorator. There is the oldest, Renata (Diane Keaton), a poet whose husband Frederick, a struggling writer, feels eclipsed by her success. Flyn (Kristin Griffith), a vain actress who is away most of the time filming; the low quality of her films is an object of ridicule behind her back and the youngest, Joey (Mary Beth Hurt) who cannot settle on a career, and resents her mother for favoring Renata. She is also in a relationship with Mike (Sam Waterston), who Eve dislikes. The film also goes in and out of the past and present.
