The end of an affair

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2006)

Woody Allen is comedian Alvy Singer.He's Jewish, he's neurotic and he lives in New York.He goes to a psychoanalysis to hear that Freudian mumbo jumbo, which is very helpful of course.Sounds like a Woody Allen movie to me.In the movie Alvy goes through his relationship history and what went wrong in them.He concentrates particularly on one of them, the one he had with Annie Hall (Diane Keaton).Of course Diane and Woody were actually going out and this is obviously a movie about their relationship.And Keaton's real name is Diane Hall.Woody's character speaks straight to the camera and steps into his past every now and then.He could go back to his childhood, listen to his parents quarrel or go sit in the classroom.That, I think is very well done in the movie.Woody Allen is a genius of movie making.Believe me, he is.Annie Hall (1977) is just terrific,wonderful, a masterpiece of romantic comedies.The dialogue, just listen to the dialogue and you know what I'm talking about.Every member of the cast is excellent, not just Allen and Keaton.I could mention Tony Roberts, Carol Kane, Shelley Duval, Janet Margolin, Paul Simon, Christopher Walken, Jonathan Munk.Jeff Goldblum and Sigourney Weaver pop in there.Truman Capote is seen walking looking like himself.I can recommend Annie Hall for all those reasons mentioned up there.Maybe you can think of some others.Just go watch the movie.Why are you wasting your time reading this review, this mumbo jumbo of mine? You'd be half way the movie by now.
