Woody Allen co-wrote, directed, and stars in this award- winning film as a Brooklyn comedian. The film marked a transition from his earlier comedies to a richer vein of thoughtful consideration of relationships. The gentle narrative revolutionized the urban romantic- comedy genre and the significant part to this movie is that it is the first time Allen has written adult characters. Woody Allen's breakthrough comedy is a constant joy to watch. Allen plays Alvy Singer, a New York-centric comedian who cannot get any pleasure out of life. He is obsessed with death and thinks that there are only two types of people in the world: the horrible and the miserable. Into his world comes Annie Hall, played fabulously by Diane Keaton. As they fall in love, she begins to outgrow him emotionally. As Alvy tries to get closer to her, she chooses to switch and live in Southern California leaving it difficult for Alvy to pursue his relationship with her. This film is filled with memorable scenes and features Allen talking right into the camera, a technique that was not common at the time. This film also features fabulous visual and verbal acts which helped make this film fun and exciting to watch.
