Three tales of love, ambition, and neurosis unfold in the city that never sleeps. In "Life Lessons" (Martin Scorsese), a tormented painter channels heartbreak into his art.

It's still too early to tell whether the cheering New York Stories will be a box-office hit, but one can hope.

Allen's contribution is the only one that can be counted as a genuine success.
