Review of Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) by Willem W — 07 Dec 2007
Arguably Woody Allen's most accessible and entertaining film. Follows three sisters and their extended family though a year or so of trials and tribulations, all of which are rooted in the romantic.
In addition to being one of his tightest (albeit conventional) screenplays, I think this film has some of Woody Allen's best work as an actor. At under two hours, it feels much longer, but in a good way.
Oscar winning turns by Michael Caine and Dianne Weist. Features a fantastic small role for the larger-than-life Max Von Sydow, who has one of the best speeches about television I've ever heard.
