Review of Manhattan (1979) by Martin T — 21 Jan 2010
The cinematography is magnificent, Allen and Keaton are both great, there's a lot of funny lines, and the insights about relationships and maturity and everything are meaningful. But man, the whole Mariel Hemingway thing is just creepy.
Are we supposed to approve of his desire to be with an adolescent? Or are we supposed to feel a little bit sorry for him? I guess a case could be made for the latter, but I don't think so. Good movie, but kind of unsettling in ways that it shouldn't be.
