Annie Hall
Annie Hall is an American romantic comedy film directed and played by Woody Allen and co-wrote it with Marshall Brickman. It was screened at the Los Angeles Film Festival in March 1977, before its official release on April 20, 1977. They had a budget of 4 million but they won 32 million, so we can said that it was a successful film.
The film stars the director as Alvy Singer, who tries to figure out the
reasons for the failure of his relationship with the film's eponymous
female lead, played by Diane Keaton in a role written specifically for her.
Principal photography for the film began on May 19, 1976 on the South Fork of Long Island,
and filming continued periodically for the next ten months. Allen has
described the result, which marked his first collaboration with
cinematographer Gordon Willis, as "a major turning point",in that unlike the farces and comedies that were his work to that
point, it introduced a new level of seriousness. Academics have noted
the contrast in the settings of New York City and Los Angeles, the
stereotype of gender differences in sexuality, the presentation of Jewish identity, and the elements of psychoanalysis and modernism.
The film
received widespread critical acclaim, and along with winning the Academy Award for Best Picture, it received Oscars in three other categories: two for Allen (Best Director and, with Brickman, Best Original Screenplay), and Best Actress for Keaton. The film additionally won four BAFTA awards and a Golden Globe,
the latter being awarded to Keaton. Its North American box office
receipts of $38,251,425 are fourth-best of Allen's works when not
adjusted for inflation.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all-time, it ranks 31st on AFI's List of the greatest films in American cinema, 4th on their list of greatest comedy films and 28th on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies". Film critic Roger Ebert called it "just about everyone's favorite Woody Allen movie".The film's screenplay was also named the funniest ever written by the Writers Guild of America in its list of the "101 Funniest Screenplays". In 1992, the United States' Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in its National Film Registry that includes "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" films
