This month’s theme is Woody Allen movies.

We start with Annie Hall, 1977 romantic comedy directed by Woody Allen and co-starring Diane Keaton. Allen has described the film as “a major turning point”, as it introduced a level of seriousness to his films that was not found in the farces and comedies that were his work to that point. It won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Film critic Roger Ebert described it as “just about everyone’s favorite Woody Allen movie”.

This movie follows the up and down relationship of two mismatched New York neurotics. Jewish comedy writer Alvy Singer (Allen) ponders the modern quest for love and his past romance with tightly-wound WASP singer Annie Hall (Diane Keaton).
