| Maybe it is narcissistic, and stylistically it isn't perfect: the story is shot a little too dramatically to generate the laughter its jokes deserve. But this is among the funniest, most intelligent and grown-up of all romantic comedies. Allen's direction is better than ever: note his inventive framing of shots, and the way he uses car and driving imagery throughout. The stars are the city, the Gershwin score, and Woody Allen himself, in that order. |
