Review of Radio Days (1987) by Elgan D — 06 Oct 2015
Woody Allen's love letter to a bygone era of radio broadcasting. Seeping with nostalgia and memories, this a great period film which seeks to capture the quirks and scandals of the radio industry, while simultaneously showing how the radio was a linchpin of the working class household. The story flits between a handful of main characters through a series of vignettes, accompanied by the classic Woody Allen narration.
While I can more easily relate to the romanticism of other Woody Allen classics such as Annie Hall, or Manhattan, there is a certain charm to the story as seen by a reminiscing boy looking back through rose-tinted glasses.
