This is one of those legendary movies. It’s considered to be the best project Woody Allen ever did. And it’s good. It’s clever, it moves around quickly. There’s an elastic fourth wall technique that establishes itself, and allows for some unusual sequences. The story isn’t told in a linear way, but it’s still mostly linear. The occasional jumping around in time comes about in a way that feels natural - like it’s just a side effect of hearing the story being told.
The content is interesting, because as much as I disagree with Allen’s character, I still identify with him. I feel like Annie Hall is just as difficult to figure out as he does. And she doesn’t play it as a difficult character. She doesn’t try to be oblique. It just boils down to the main problem that couples have; a basic incompatibility.
