Perhaps the ultimate "New York" movie, Woody Allen's MANHATTAN is a lovely mosaic of New York life as seen through the eyes of Isaac Davis (Allen), a neurotic writer in love with two women - a sweet but naive 17 year old girl and a worldly fellow writer. Looks at Manhattan through the eyes of smoky old black and white photographs and Gershwin music, perfectly evoking the city's rhythms and atmosphere.

Very reminiscent of Annie Hall, containing a heap of classical Woody Allen themes: humor, life as we know it, love and neurosis, this charming tale of love, deceit, knowing or not knowing one's self and friendship is beautiful and I'm glad Allen didn't have enough power to make Universal shelf it.

Chapter One: After all of this time "Manhattan" is still unfairly overshadowed by the genius and perfection of "Annie Hall"; this film stands alone as one of his best works and is almost as magnificent a portrait of New York as "Taxi Driver". Not to mention Gordon Willis is the absolute master of contrast and composition. No no-- too pretensious. Chapter One: Goddamn I love this film!

there were some really promising moments like diane keaton's brilliant performance, but for a comedy, the lack of laughs in accordance with my humour is sort of a killer. the neurotic style of humour just does not grab me like i half wish it would. the scenes which reference chaplin visibly are the real fun of the film for me, which makes me think it could have been better. i just find myself thinking 'eh'.

A climactic scene almost worthy of Chaplin wherein Ernest Hemingway's granddaughter's naturalism vividly contrasts with Woody's tics. Otherwise we gaze at static Gordon Willis' frames while the characters run around like neurotic mice pretending to be intelligent as all life drains from the screen. A supremely dead movie.

Everything was perfect in this film apart from the acting of Mariel Hemingway. She just can't act..

Amo esta pelicula X 10000000 millones de veces. Me encantan los personajes cotidianos, obvio sobre todo a Isaac Davis (Allen) que es super sarcastico y un poco histerico disimulado. La fotografia y la música son hermosaspara enamorarse de esa ciudad.....aaaaaa y gran merito que sea en blanco/negro que le da un aire melancólico/intelectualoide que ya uno quiere estar ahi como sea.

If Woody Allen was not so funny then he would only be creepy. No, but seriously the guy is hysterical.

En la pelicula del multifacético director, guionista, actor, musico y escritor Woody Allen, “Manhattan” rodada en el año 1979, percibo y resalto personalmente que se juega mucho con la conciencia moral, donde los personajes del dicho film establecen sus actos y/o acciones que pueden ser juzgados como buenos o malos y juegan con la historia.

Allowing Tracy the film's concluding lines is the ultimate grace note in this most graceful of all of Allen's films. "You have to have a little faith in people." Allen may not believe it now, and he may not have really believed it then, but in Manhattan he manages to make us believe it anyway. I've watched this film maybe a dozen times, and it never becomes any less thrilling, or less telling.

At the moment I'm seeing lots of Woody Allen films, and Manhattan remained the biggest film of his not yet seen. Classic drama format in his style, but not as funny or masterful as Annie Hall or Hannah and Her Sisters. His use of black and white though, demonstrates his qualities as a director.

Meryl Streep is so effing gorgeous in this! and it's refreshing to see her in a role so understated and un-costumey (but there are a lot of her early films I haven't seen). also, I like Mariel Hemingway, but I was mostly distracted and slightly disturbed by how much I relate to Diane Keaton's character. I think this was one of the first Woody Allen films I saw, and it's still my favourite.

Manhattan is almost like the boorish sibling of Annie Hall. Although funny, not AS funny and slightly more pretentious but definitely not as clever. In the plus column, its WAY more attractive. Woody Allen's direction and Gordon Willis' stunningly beautiful photography make it impossible to hold any gripes the story, dialogue or acting may ordinarily cause you to bring against the movie. Every shot is a work of art.

The first Woody Allen film I've seen. All the comments I think of seem far too shallow to describe how I feel.

Although my first viewing left me slightly unimpressed about a year ago, I recently revisited this one and I have to say it had an overwhelming effect on me. Allen gives us a love story, not only one between characters, but one between a man and the city he loves (as gorgeously expressed through the opening sequence featuring shots of NYC to Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue). Definitely one of my top Woody Allen pictures.
