Beskrivning
Since its release, Annie Hall has established itself as a key film for Woody Allen's career and the history of romantic comedy more generally. At the 1978 Academy Awards, it won Oscars for Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actress and is regularly cited as one of the greatest film comedies ever released, credited with influencing directors such as Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach, Richard Linklater, Greta Gerwig and Desiree Akhavan. This lively collection brings a new ethical and philosophical perspective to bear on Allen's work quite different from previous generations of scholars.At the same time as exploring the film's continuing influence on contemporary cinema, this book's contributors engage explicitly and implicitly with ongoing debates about Allen's cinematic output following the renewal of accusations against Allen by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow in 2014 and 2018. The book is alive to debates within film studies about the limits of auteur theory and the role of the spectator.

Recensioner i media

In this excellent collection of articles, a brilliant and diverse group of film experts explore Annie Hall in depth and in all of its dimensions as an iconic film as opposed to concentrating primarily, as other studies often do, on director Woody Allen. The contrast, as discussed in many of the articles, between the reception of Annie Hall by critics and the public when the film first appeared and how it is seen today dramatizes not only changing views of the movie but also how our understanding of film as an art form and as a cultural force has matured over several decades. Remembering Annie Hall should be remembered and kept firmly in mind for future studies of this film.
