Annie Hall - (DVD) Classic Woody Allen romantic comedy in which the neurotic New Yorker analyses his relationship with Annie (Diane Keaton). Using a host of film-making tricks: taking his characters into their own flashbacks adding subtitles of what they are really thinking creating a phantom "extra" Annie and even switching to a cartoon Annie Hall is probably Woody Allen's best known certainly best loved film. Telling the story of comedian Alvy Singer's relationship with the titular Annie Allen explores the relationship from the moment they first meet to their break-up and subsequent friendship. It's optimistic romantic and very funny swollen with Allen's customary wit (for example Alvy on Los Angeles: "I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.") The film is peppered with cameo appearances too. Shelly Duval Christopher Walken and Paul Simon make appearances and yes that is the young Jeff Goldblum on the phone during the party scene ("I forgot my mantra"). Overall Annie Hall remains a classic example of romantic comedy at its very best. Honest perceptive and howlingly funny. ...
