Diane Keaton, a Star of ‘Annie Hall’ and ‘First Wives Club,’ Dies at …

Diane Keaton has died, age 79.

An iconic actress of the '70s and '80s, whose comedic and dramatic work in Annie Hall, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Reds, and a string of other prestige and quality films set her apart from her peers.

Although she became famous for her "la-de-da"s and distinctive styling in Annie Hall, my personal favorite of her comedy roles is Sonja, cousin to Woody Allen's intellectual serf Boris in Tsarist Russia in Allen's Love and Death, the last of his early pure comedies. From physical humor to sendups of Bergman to drawing-room comedy, Keaton inhabits the role effortlessly and turns in a bravura comic performance that is sardonic, sexy, and smart.

One of my favorite films of hers is her 1987 directorial debut, Heaven, in which she and her interviewees, along with loads of vintage footage, examine the meaning of "Heaven" in people's minds. The first time I saw it, I was struck by the offbeat, postmodern sensibility that conceived and executed the film. It's undeservedly little known in her oeuvre and is ripe for (re)discovery.

Her work from 1990 forward tended toward samey romcoms and ensemble comedies—an inordinate number of which involved weddings—none of which approached the quality, richness, and depth of her earlier films. Gratefully, she was busy in the '70s and '80s and leaves a rich body of work to enjoy and appreciate.

One of the greats.

Gladiator (Ridley Scott, 2000): Hand on the wheat

[elijones94]

I had watched “A Goofy Movie” on Disney+ over the weekend and decided to do some studies based on the opening sequence. Max’s dream-turned-nightmare at the beginning of “A Goofy Movie” is an homage to transformation scenes in werewolf movies. The scene starts off with Max finding his crush, Roxanne, sitting on a tall column amongst fields of wheat wearing a flowing, white dress. She leaps from the column into Max’s arms. As Roxanne is leaning towards Max to kiss him, she backs away in shock at the sight his huge teeth. The atmosphere changes from peaceful skies and wheat fields to forests of thorns and ominous overcast skies. She starts to back away in fear as Max continues transforming into his father, Goofy. Roxanne screams in terror as Max, unable to speak, lets out a Goofy laugh like his father’s in which a flash of lightning and a thunder clap adds to the intensity of the nightmare. Then, Max wakes up in a cold sweat from his nightmare.
