Crisis en seis escenas es una comedia ambientada en los alborotados años 60 en Estados Unidos y se centra en una familia de los suburbios de clase media la cual recibe una visita inesperada que cambiará sus vidas por completo.
"Crisis in Six Scenes" is a 2016 American television series created by the legendary filmmaker Woody Allen, marking his first foray into the world of television. Produced by Amazon Studios, this six-episode miniseries blends comedy and drama to explore the tumultuous socio-political climate of the 1960s. Set in a suburban New York home, the story revolves around a middle-class couple, played by Allen and Elaine May, whose lives are upended by the arrival of a radical activist, portrayed by Miley Cyrus. The series delves into themes of generational conflict, political activism, and the absurdity of everyday life, all underscored by Allen's signature wit and neurotic humor. The narrative of "Crisis in Six Scenes" unfolds with a clever mix of satire and social commentary, reflecting the era's unrest and the characters' personal crises. Woody Allen's character, Sidney J. Munsinger, is a neurotic and somewhat paranoid retiree who finds himself unwittingly drawn into the world of political activism through his interactions with Cyrus's character, a young revolutionary hiding from the law. The series cleverly juxtaposes the mundane concerns of suburban life with the larger societal issues of the time, such as the Vietnam War and civil rights movements, creating a rich tapestry of humor and tension. Elaine May's performance as Sidney's wife, Kay Munsinger, adds depth and warmth to the series, providing a counterbalance to the chaos introduced by the activist. Her character's journey from a seemingly content housewife to someone questioning her own beliefs and actions is portrayed with nuance and sensitivity. The chemistry between Allen and May, who have a long history of collaboration, is palpable and adds a layer of authenticity to their on-screen relationship. The supporting cast, including notable actors like Rachel Brosnahan and John Magaro, further enriches the series with their compelling performances. Despite its ambitious premise and talented cast, "Crisis in Six Scenes" received mixed reviews upon its release. Critics praised the sharp writing and the performances, particularly those of Allen and May, but some felt that the series struggled to fully realize its potential within the constraints of its format. Nevertheless, "Crisis in Six Scenes" remains a noteworthy addition to Woody Allen's body of work, offering a unique glimpse into his perspective on a pivotal moment in American history, all while maintaining his distinctive comedic voice.
