Review of Annie Hall (1977) by Ethan R — 16 Jan 2011
The life and death of the relationship. It's clearly obvious that this film remains a classic and everyone loves it, but that's because it's Allen's magnum opus. He hasn't made a better film since.
He gives the most realistic look into the psychology behind love and does so with a sense of sarcasm that only he can pull off. Fantastically and personally written, the times where he addresses the audience were my favorite, it added a dimension the film and grounded itself into my heart.
There were times where two scenes would occur on-screen at the same time and there were scenes where characters would observe past events by literally going back in time and observing. Prior to Annie Hall love in film was simple.
Tragic, dramatic, but never funny, poignant, or original. Woody Allen, you'll never top this, but I won't blame you for trying.
