Annie Hall- humorous and intelligent

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2008)

This film came out a few short years before i was born, and id heard some pretty impressive things about it; so it was fair to say my expectations were high going into it. i am happy to report to you that the film surpassed my expectations- it was truly brilliant.
It had two main things going for it- it was both funny AND intelligent. its humour wasn't low-brow but had standards and required the audience to think. if u watch this film and pay attention you will be rewarded tenfold. Allens use of humour was also innovative at the time (eg speaking directly to the camera and his use of subtitles when talking to Keaton in one scene) that gives the film an unbelievably charming feel.
perhaps its that i see a bit of myself in Alvy Singer, perhaps its because of its location, perhaps its a lot of things. but i just cant get enough of this film. it has everything that i like and respect in movies. id give only a handful of films iv ever seen 10/10. this is one of them. brilliant.
