About this product

Product Information

Woody Allen finished his first decade of filmmaking, the 1970s, with one of his greatest and most deliberately artistic films, the love song to his home city MANHATTAN. Allen plays Isaac Davis, another one of his thinly veiled self-portraits, who finds himself suffering from a mid-life crisis. Unhappy in his career as a variety show comedy writer and newly divorced from a woman who has since come out as a lesbian, Isaac waffles between two relationships: that with emotionally honest and open, but far too young, Tracy (Mariel Hemingway in an Academy Award nominated performance) and with pseudo-intellectual, neurotic Mary (Diane Keaton). Allen uses these two women to contrast the naiveté and lack of pretension of youth with the growing cynicism of middle age. Although the acting and writing is some of the sharpest of Allen's filmmaking career, what is truly memorable and endearing about MANHATTAN is its romantic view of New York. Whereas the character relationships in the film are largely dysfunctional and fueled by a vision of perfection, by contrast the city itself is envisioned by Allen as an object of perfection. In order to create aesthetically pleasing images of the city, Allen and his longtime cinematographer Gordon Willis decided to shoot the film in black and white and in the 2.35:1 widescreen ratio, the first time that Allen had used either format. The images are backed by the songs of quintessential New York composer George Gershwin, setting a tone of romanticism and grandeur that underlies Isaac's (and Allen's) inherent dissatisfaction with the mundane aspects of his life. The magnificence of the city of New York is the backdrop to the search for a similar splendor in human relationships in MANHATTAN.

    Item came super fast and almost as described. The case did have a sticker on the front and back so wasnt "like new". I dont think the seller meant to miss lead though. Their definition of "like new" just isnt my own. The disc is almost mint so can over look case. It is CIB as described. For the price I say I got a great deal. So, I recommend this seller.

    Woody Allen humor...yes!

    While noting my opinion bias in favor of Woody Allen humor (i.e, his neurotic New York city ways) I also liked the touching scene toward the movie's end (with Margo Hemingway). I would not hesitate to view the film again....am passing it to my brother, who also appreciates Allen's humor, from decades ago.

  • Woody Allen Classic

    I liked it when it originally came out. Probably not much middle ground. It's aged reasonably well.

  • Woody Allen Classic

    A classic Woody Allen theme. A biting comedy with some serious moments and as usual Mr. Allen selected the perfect music score for the background sound.

  • Really great film

    This classic in film making is a happy addition to our family collection. It is really a love story between Woody Allen and his city with beautiful camera sweeps, of Manahattan.
