Manhattan is a romantic comedy film in black and white by Woody Allen from to 1979.
action
Woody Allen settles his story in the New York borough of Manhattan in the jungle of relationships of neurotic intellectuals: Isaac, a gag writer for TV shows, is neither satisfied with his job nor with his private life. He has already had two failed marriages, and his relationship with 17-year-old Tracy is also problematic. And then he falls in love with Mary, his best friend's lover. In addition to the hubbub, Isaac's ex-wife publishes a revealing book about their marriage.
"New York was his city and always would be," says the prologue of the film about Isaac. The viewer walks with him in Central Park , visits the art museums and the artist bar “Elaine's”. In the long shots, the figures in the metropolis are pushed to the farthest edges of the picture and are often barely recognizable. The film is accompanied by music. a. with the Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin .
Reviews
“Woody Allen follows on from his Oscar-winning Der Stadtneurotiker and combines the sharp-tongued joke with which the life crisis of an American intellectual is caricatured with a poetic homage to his native city. Gershwin's nostalgic music and atmospheric black-and-white photography emphasize the melancholy undertones of his comedy more than in Allen's earlier films. "
“Indeed, it is astonishing what the language comedian Woody Allen has become for a director over the course of time, what security and laconic craftsmanship he has acquired. Manhattan is without a doubt the peak of his career, Manhattan is Woody Allen's lights of the big city . "
“Woody Allen's Manhattan is about a list of the most overrated creatives of all time - and no dick from a critic noticed anything. This fence post was even one of the comparatively humorous waves of the difficult to bear. "
