Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)
Country: US
Technical: col 106m
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest, Michael Caine
Synopsis:
Among the loves of three New York sisters are the philandering husband of one of them and a neurotic documentary filmmaker.
Review:
Guess which one is Woody? Yes, this is both very familiar (Woody's straight to camera confidences and the characters and setting) and refreshingly different in as much as he introduces some Interiors-style drama into what is basically a comedy. As such, with its earnest, self-important Caine characterization punctuated by Woody's self-deflating gags, it looks forward to the true maturity of Crimes and Misdemeanors. In its own terms it offers two complementary ruminations on the question of whom to fall in love with: Elliot (Caine) goes after what takes his fancy and then excuses himself ('I don't know what came over me.'), while Lee (Allen) goes with the flow and embraces the unexpected.
