Hannah and Her Sisters
Between two Thanksgivings, Hannah's (Mia Farrow) husband falls in love with her sister Lee, (Barbara Hershey) while her hypochondriac ex-husband rekindles his relationship with her sister Holly (Dianne Wiest).
This is probably one of the greatest of all Woody Allen films in the mix of wit, technical proficiency, sophisticated style, acting, emotion, etc. He takes a bevy of characters and creates a complex heartfelt portrait of family, lovers, friends, and artists that's funny but with insightful bite.
It follows the relationship woes, conflicts and rivalries of three sisters. Into their lives comes Michael Caine, Woody Allen, and Max Von Sydow. A rare film that acknowledges how wonderful life is, without denying how hard it can be at the same time - or at least how hard we find ways to make it. (Brand new 35mm print)
