Woody Allen's way of reflecting on his life, narcissistic but somehow honest. He took shots at consumerism, religion, anti-Semitism and Hollywood. Mia Farrow and Allen were so in love then, which made the subsequent fallout of the relationship all the more heartbreaking.
A joyful, sometimes bitter social satire of human absurdity. The touching love legend, the genius storytelling method, and the seemingly bizarre yet actually resonating metaphor remind us of the Allen at his proud prime.
