Annie Hall

Annie Hall (1977) starring Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts, Paul Simon, Shelley Duvall, Carol Kane. Probably Woody's best movie, stars Allen and Keaton in an autobiographical romantic comedy with many fine Allenisms, funny comparisons of New York vs. Los Angeles, Keaton singing (twice!), the lobster scene in the kitchen, "The Sorrow and the Pity," Marshall McLuhan, etc. The film won four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Keaton. Many memorable and funny bits, lots of them derived from Allen's own life and from his life with Keaton. Truly a movie to be scene repeatedly and enjoyed every time. (Subtitles in English are very good.) Grade: A
