Neurotic New York romance at its finest. The freewheeling script follows the reflections of nervy comedian Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) as he falls for goofy, irresistible Annie Hall (Diane Keaton), and then details the demise of their love affair, as they bicker around NYC.
Often revered as Woody Allen’s most three dimensional and tender comedy, this beautiful and hilarious film scores the triumphs and troughs of the relationship between comedy writer Alvy Singer (Allen) and Annie Hall (Diane Keaton).
In many ways they are like chalk and cheese, her background being of repressed mid western WASP and his family being rambunctious Brooklyn Jewish, and yet it is their mutual neuroses that bind them together - while simultaneously pulling them apart. Sigh. She is beautiful and fun, he is hilarious - so why is it so hard? Originally to be entitled Anhedonia (the inability to enjoy oneself) this is an insightful and poignant look at relationships in the 70s.
The decade is in every frame from Keaton’s androgynous attire to Allen’s of-the-moment cultural references, yet is still feels fresh and tingles with imultaneous wonder and bemusement. Cinematic techniques mesh with almost theatrical approaches to create something visually inviting.e
Singer quotes Groucho Marx’s oft-cited “I wouldn’t wanna join any club that would have me as a member” - but we disagree:we’d love to be part of his club and we think you will too.
“Lovely performances, and more superb gags in one minute than most movies manage in 90. It’s like drinking champagne.” The Guardian
