ANNIE HALL (DVD-217)

Considered to be Woody Allens breakthrough movie (Time Magazine), Annie Hall won four Oscars, including Best Picture, and established Allen as the premier auteur filmmaker. Thought by many critics to be Allens magnum opus, Annie Hall confirmed that he had, completed the journey from comic to humourist, from comedy writer to wit [and] from inventive moviemaker to creative artist (Saturday Review). Alvy Singer (Allen), is one of Manhattans most brilliant comedians, but when it comes to romance, his delivery needs a little work. Introduced by his best friend, Rob (Tony Roberts), to the ditzy but delightful nightclub singer, Annie Hall (Diane Keaton). No sooner is Alvy in love, when his own insecurities sabotage the affair, forcing Annie to leave Alvy for a new life – and lover (Paul Simon) – in Los Angeles. Knowing he may have lost Annie forever, Alvy’s willing to go to any lengths – even driving L.A.s freeways – to recapture the only thing that ever mattered … true love.
