Hello everyone!
For the month of February I sometimes choose a romantic comedy, this is one of those Februarys.
We will be watching Woody Allen's Annie Hall.
Annie Hall is a 1977 American satirical romantic comedy-drama film directed by Woody Allen from a screenplay written by Allen and Marshall Brickman, and produced by Allen's manager, Charles H. Joffe. The film stars Allen as Alvy Singer, who tries to figure out the reasons for the failure of his relationship with the eponymous female lead, played by Diane Keaton in a role written specifically for her. Regarded among the greatest films ever made, it ranks 31st on AFI's list of the 100 greatest films in American cinema, 4th on their list of the greatest comedy films and 28th on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies". It currently holds a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and Roger Ebert initially gave it 3.5/4 stars and later gave it 4/4 adding it to his list of The Great Movies, saying this in his review, "“Woody Allen’s Annie Hall… dares to go into this material a little more seriously and cohesively than is usually the case in an Allen film. Annie Hall is a comedy, yes, and there are moments in it as funny as anything Woody has done, but the movie represents a growth on Allen’s part… From a filmmaker who would do anything for a laugh… this film is much more thoughtful and (is it possible?) more mature… At the end of the affair, we’ve learned only two things for certain: that enduring relationships are very likely impossible in this time and place… and that life without the search for relationships is unthinkable. In Annie Hall he makes it very funny, and sad, and tricky indeed.”
We will be meeting Thursday, February 26 at 5:30 pm
