Nominated for two Academy Awards in 1979, and considered one of Allen's most enduring accomplishments, Manhattan is a wry, touching and finely-rendered portrait of modern relationships against the backdrop of urban alienation. Sumptuously photographed in black and white (Allen's first film in that format), and accompanied by a magnificent Gershwin score, Woody Allen's aesthetic triumph is a "prismatic portrait of a time and place that may be studied decades hence" (Time Magazine). 42-year-old Manhattan native Isaac Davis (Allen) has a job he hates, a seventeen-year-old girlfriend (Mariel Hemingway) he doesn't love, and a lesbian ex-wife Jill (Meryl Streep) who's writing a tell-all book about their marriage... and whom he'd like to strangle.

Very Woody

Enjoyable stuff from Woody - of course whether you enjoy it or not will depend on whether you enjoy him. Diane Keaton is outstanding too. Some cracking one-liners, and it's all done in ninety minutes. Worth a watch.
