Woody Allen's homage to the city he loves, and it's no surprise if the way he shows it to us is the way he sees it, it truly is amazing.
The film is shot in black and white, and has George Gershwin's music flowing through most of it.
It's very funny, Allen is an older guy going through a crisis, he is dating the gorgeous 17 year old Mariel Hemmingway when he meets Diane Keaton's Anti-Annie Hall, a brash, pretentious snob who he becomes obsessed by, a series of very funny events with even funnier dialogue ensues. There are some incredibly perceptive moments, and there is an almost tragic feel to certain parts of the film, it is undoubtedly one of Allen's finest works and if you're a fan, chances are you'll have already seen it. If you let it, the film will play with your emotions much like the characters in it play with each other, and I don't want to give anything away, but it is one of Woody's most uplifting pictures, you'll come away with a renewed feeling of hope and an itching desire to walk into the picture and into this New York.
