Manhattan



Tonight I watched this Woody Allen classic, and the more I see it, the more I like it. It's now among my several all-time favorite films. I love the heart of this film -- and I love its technique, both the romantic visuals and the Allenesque humorous jabs at the cliches of romantic filmmaking. And what a fine ending ... "you have to have faith in people." A real gem. I hadn't seen it in a long while, so this was a special treat. In fact, I think I may teach it in the fall.
