Retrospectives – Woody Allen

 

#1

On Thanksgiving, three sisters talk about their life problems. Hanna is the eldest daughter, a devoted wife, loving mother and successful actress. Soon, however, her orderly world will be disturbed by sororal rivalry.

#2

Alongside “Manhattan,” this is Woody Allen’s most famous film, and the quintessence of comedy drama. A story of a neurotic love. He is a New York comedian, she is a singer. The picture won 4 Oscars. Some critics believe it to be the best film among the multitude of the director’s works.

 

#3

With this film Allen shows that he should not be classified only as the author of intellectual comedies. The director created a spine-tingling psychological thriller about a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Excellent performances by Jonathan R. Meyers and Scarlett Johansson.

 

#4

Woody Allen brilliantly plays with German expressionism and with horror film. A story of a neurotic accountant, who is helping capture of a strangler prowling the neighbourhood. The incredible Kafkesque atmosphere keeps the viewers on their toes. John Malkovich as a clown is the cherry on top.
