Hhe worst that you can say about Him

« Je ne sais pas si Dieu existe, mais s’il existe, j’espère qu’il a une bonne excuse. » Né en 1935 à Brooklyn, Woody Allen — de son vrai nom Allan Stewart Konigsberg — commence comme auteur de blagues pour la télévision avant de se faire connaître sur scène en stand-up. Très vite, il impose une signature singulière : un mélange d’humour intellectuel, d’autodérision et d’angoisse existentielle,…

Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977)

Diane Keaton and Woody Allen in Annie Hall 

Cast: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts, Carol Kane, Paul Simon, Shelley Duvall, Janet Margolin, Colleen Dewhurst, Christopher Walken. Screenplay: Woody Allen, Marshall Brickman. Cinematography: Gordon Willis. Art direction: Mel Bourne. Film editing: Wendy Greene Bricmont, Ralph Rosenblum.

Annie Hall is the movie that transformed Woody Allen from a maker of comedies like Bananas (1971) and Sleeper (1973) into a full-fledged auteur with a record-setting 16 Oscar nominations as screenwriter, along with seven nominations as director. But Allen’s achievement in Annie Hall was a step, not a leap, forward from the goofy early comedies. It still played on his stand-up persona – the film opens and ends with Alvy Singer (Allen) cracking jokes and includes scenes in which Alvy does stand-up at a rally for Adlai Stevenson and at the University of Wisconsin. What makes the movie different from the “early, funny ones” – as a rueful running gag line goes in Stardust Memories (1980) – is his willingness and ability to turn Alvy into a real person who just happens to be very funny. Diane Keaton’s glorious performance also succeeds in giving dimension to what could have been just a caricature. It is one of the few outright funny movies to have won the best picture, and also won for Keaton’s performance and Allen’s direction and screenplay – he shared the latter with Marshall Brickman. Annie Hall may not have deserved the best picture Oscar in a year that also saw the debut of George Lucas’s Star Wars, Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Luis Buñuel's That Obscure Object of Desire, but it’s easy to make a case for it.
