One day when I'm awfully low...

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2003)

Probably one of the finest movies of the twentieth century ruminating on life, relationships and the pitfalls of romance. Nothing is forever but while you're here you might as well have a jolly good try at it. Allen brings in all the elements that makes relationships (or sharks) come stop moving - jealously, needs and wants, compromises, those thoughts of imaginary arguments when you really know what you want to say but never really said it - it's all here. And it's not a sad film either - we know from the start the relationship is over but that doesn't stop the viewer from enjoying every moment as if it were afresh. Beautifully made, this is a must for just about anyone who's ever had a tumultuous relationship and needs a breather/room for thought. Wonderful.
