Review of Annie Hall (1977) by Christopher S — 29 Apr 2013
Easily the best comedy out of all of Woody Allen's work, Annie Hall is an interesting romantic comedy that explores the psychoanalytical nature of sexuality that has yet to be matched in the rest of Allen's work.
Annie Hall is a funny, frank and frontal comedy that has Allen's best screenplay that flows along with the brilliantly performed main characters; Allen with his frantic and anxious comedian Alvy Singer, but it is more about Diane Keaton who is so natural in her role as the fun and quirky nightclub singer Annie Hall who struggles to be her fun self against Aly Singer's bleak view about love and romance and life itself.
The film should be remembered for its weird presentational theatre style that gives a better communication with the audience and strangely fits better than the normal representational style of storytelling.
A great, naturally flowing comedy with a strong heart and a strong ending.
