Review of Manhattan (1979) by Anton B — 05 Nov 2009
In "Manhattan," the beautiful black-and-white cinematography and sweeping Gershwin music nicely contrast with the infirm romances and confused affairs between the characters. Unlike "Annie Hall," the form here is not erratic, although the characters still are.
In this film, I have a hard time determining whether Woody Allen wants us to like or loathe the self-centred intellectuals he depicts, for in the end, the 17-year-old girl Woody Allen's character is dating is the least annoying, least selfish, and most sensible character of the bunch.
