Don’t you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we’re left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here.
Woody Allen, Annie Hall, 1977
Whenever Woody releases a new film, my friends and I inevitably bandy about some of his vintage quotes. This is one of my particular favorites.
I was fortunate enough to see Whatever Works at the Tribeca Film Festival premier. While it’s not his best work, it’s vintage Woody — smart, obsessive, neurotic and at times gut-wrenchingly funny. I wouldn’t miss it.
