On this week's episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha continue their overdue tribute to the late and incredibly great Diane Keaton with Part 2 of their deep dive into 1977's 'Annie Hall'. The film stars Keaton and Woody Allen who also co-wrote and directed the movie. A satirical romantic comedy-drama with Allen as Alvy Singer, who tries to figure out the reasons for the failure of his relationship with the eponymous female lead, Annie Hall, a role Allen wrote specifically for Keaton. The film was nominated for the Big Five Academy Awards, winning four: the Academy Award for Best Picture, two for Allen (Best Director and, with Marshall Brickman, Best Original Screenplay), and Best Actress for Keaton who also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress that year. It ranks 31st on AFI's list of the 100 greatest films in American cinema. The film's screenplay was also named the funniest ever written by the Writers Guild of America in its list of the "101 Funniest Screenplays". It's also regarded by critics as a landmark "transitional" film in Allen's career, moving his work from more "accessible" and surreal parody towards more "naturalistic" comic filmmaking. Steve and John go thru the movie scene by scene and break down the direction, acting, storylines, cinematography, score, themes, message, philosophical debates and more.
