Annie Hall
Woody Allen's romantic comedy of the "Me Decade" follows
the rocky relationship of two mismatched New York neurotics. Jewish
comedy writer Alvy Singer (Allen) ponders the modern quest for love
and his past romance with a WASP "singer" Annie Hall (Diane
Keaton). The twice-divorced Alvy knows that it's not easy to find a
mate when the options include pretentious New York intellectuals and
lifestyle-obsessed Rolling Stone writers, but Annie seems different.
Along the romantic road of their relationship, Allen/Alvy weigh in on
such topics as endless therapy, movies vs. TV, the absurdity of dating
rituals, anti-Semitism, drugs, and, in one of the best set pieces, the
clash of two cultures: repressed Midwestern WASP vs. Brooklyn Jewish
boisterousness. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Director
(Woody Allen), Best Actress (Diane Keaton) and Best Screenplay (Woody
Allen and Marshall Brickman). Also starring: Tony Roberts, Carol Kane,
Paul Simon, Shelley Duvall, Janet Margolin, Colleen Dewhurst, and Christopher
Walken.
Selected for the Library of Congress National Film Registry
