I’ll give you three guesses as to the location of Woody Allen’s follow up to ‘Annie Hall.’ Give up? It’s the title of the film! Come on, it was right there! How could you not get it? In all seriousness, Woody Allen makes essentially a film ode to Manhattan. It looms large in pretty much every scene, with a plethora (ooh, vocab) of scenes set in and around the island (all set to George Gershwin, by the way).

While the island of Manhattan is the focus of the film, there is a story to be told. Allen plays Isaac Davis, a writer seeking to find happiness in his career and relationships (although, I guess everyone in the film is). He’s seeing a 17 year old high school student (Mariel Hemingway), though he falls for Diane Keaton (surprise, surprise) when he meets her. Unfortunately, Keaton is involved with his friend Yale (Michael Murphy), even though he’s married. This love triangle (or more accurately described as a pentagon I suppose) devolves as you can imagine, but it does keep you guessing with a few twists and turns. And, as you’d expect with any Woody Allen film, there are a few good laughs here and there. But watch the film for his masterful capturing of the best and worst of what truly is the capital of the world.
