Allen at his postmodern best

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2004)

So rarely does a film manage to be neurotically hilarious and at the
same time say something so profound and poignant. Through its inventive cinematography it discusses the hardships and elations of relationships without deteriorating into schmaltz or melodrama.
It is also an instructive social document capturing that cultural moment in American history just after the disenchantment with the
sixties revolution and a bit before the emergence of the Yuppies
eighties. By far, one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all times, the
consummate postmodern film, and a moving one as well.
