Review of Radio Days (1987) by Willie J — 10 May 2014
"Radio Days" is another masterpiece for Woody Allen. This film, about the a family's life living in the 40's as it touches on the Golden Age of radio, is a movie about nostalgia. It's about the past and what makes the past memorable.
Through wonderful performances by an ensemble cast of Mia Farrow, Seth Green, Diane Wiest, Josh Mostel, Michael Tucker, and Julie Kavner, the characters are each unique and identifiable. The contrast created by the characters and their personalities, mixed with the normally witty dialogue of Woody Allen add in additional laughs to the already entertaining picture.
I personally loved the beautiful cinematography, and exceptional costume design. The mood Woody Allen and Carlo Di Palma create is memorizing, utterly brilliant. The whole film is a wonderful experience, witnessing a man's past through his sentimental recollection.
