Annie Hall (1977)
Country: US
Technical: col 93m
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts
Synopsis:
Comedian Alvy SInger confides in us about his on-off love affair with the eponymous ditzy neurotic. A perfect match or what?
Review:
This hugely successful comedy (at the Oscars and therefore elsewhere) ushered in the mature Allen period and was pretty much a template for many of his later self-examinations and romantic comedies. It is perhaps distinguishable from them by its very choppy and single-minded devotion to character at the expense of plot, and presents a collage of amusing scenes and reminiscences from a relationship. As such, for all its New York neuroses and psychotherapeutic dialogue, there is a lot of truth in it about men and women and great candour. The humour is more incidental than before, but there are certainly laugh-out-loud moments.
