First Allen film, will have to see more now

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2016)

I loved this film! This is a film primarily about the rise and fall romantic relationship. However, Woody Allen's creative genius allows it to become so much more. From the non-linear timeline to the subtitles telling the audience what the characters are actually saying, Allen's decisions keep the movie interesting and fresh. My favorite scene is the one in which Annie, who is brilliantly portrayed by Diane Keaton, and Alvy (Allen's character) are having intercourse, but Annie is bored, and a manifestation of her mind is sitting in a chair near the bed. I found this to be a very inventive and imaginative way to depict Annie's boredom; it stuck out to me as one of the most memorable moments of the movie. This movie examines the realities of relationships; it reflects the happiness they bring as well as the boredom, anger and heartbreak they cause. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and would love to see more Woody Allen films.
