	Review: Manhattan (1979) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Allen peppers his film with these inserts, showing the Manhattan skyline or depicting the minutia of everyday life on the city streets, as a way to remind us of how small the troubles of a group of people are.
		Manhattan is set in 1979 - the year it was made - but the Gershwin score and glorious fl-and-white cinematography remove it from time and displace it from reality.
		If Manhattan was only a romantic comedy, it would be a very good one, but the fact that the movie has so much more ambition than the "average" entry into the genre makes it an extraordinary example of the fusion of entertainment and art.

	Manhattan (1979)
		Nominated for two Academy Awards in 1979, and considered "one of Allen's most enduring accomplishments" (Boxoffice), Manhattan is a wry, touching and finely rendered portrait of modern relationships against the backdrop of urban alienation.
		The movie concerns itself with Isaac's relationships - current and past, in the case of his ex-wife - and places all of the events against the "majestic" backdrop on New York City.
		Manhattan has built a strong reputation over the years, but the reasoning for this frankly eludes me. At its best, it provides a moderately witty and interesting view of relationships, but it lacks the truth and honesty of Annie Hall.

	REELINSIDER.COM - MANHATTAN (1979)
		Even so, Isaac's journey is a commitment to Manhattan through glimpses of the cityscape in traveling shots of cars rolling along highways, characters walking down sidewalks and static shots captured through windows giving a sense of wild spaces in the midst of urban containment and order.
		It's a terribly funny movie with a never ending banter of conversation and jokes that occasionally tip the scales of self-immolation dangerously in the direction of unseemly confession making Allen seem like both the film's prime mover but also its embarrassingly personal subject.
		For my sense of revisionism Manhattan was an easy candidate to fill this list of movies of the year but it's also my suspicion that Academy voters were beginning to tire of Allen's outsider sensibility.

		A wonderful homage to New York and a bitingly perceptive portrait of everyday life, as applicable to this group of mixed-up friends as it is to anyone.
		Manhattan is a tremendously amusing movie, that much is obvious, and Woody Allen displays all of his gift for exquisite dialogue.
		Throughout the movie we develop an intense rapport with the characters, aided by the excellent acting and their individual qualities.

		Trivia: A videocassette of Papillon (1973) is visible on Diane Keaton's (Mary)'s bookshelf, a movie in which Anne Byrne Hoffman (Emily) had earlier appeared uncredited with husband Dustin Hoffman.
		It is a movie about love and life in the city that never sleeps.Each scene is very funny,especially the scenes involving Woody Allen.The shots of Manhattan are great,especially the opening shots from the sky are really breathtaking,underlined with a great score from Gershwin.
		Although I think that the movie would have been even better in color the fl and white footage doesn't get annoying or bad in any way.Together with "Blue in the Face" this is my favorite 'pure dialogue' movie and it deserves to be in the top 100.

		Whereas the character relationships in the film are largely dysfunctional and fueled by a vision of perfection, by contrast the city itself is envisioned by Allen as an object of perfection.
		MANHATTAN is one of the only Woody Allen films in which the Woodman smokes a cigarette and has a child (one not necessarily leading to the other).
		MANHATTAN won the Best Picture Award from the National Board of Review, as well as the 1979 Worst Film of the Year Award from the Harvard Lampoon.

		Clearly the movie is a love poem to New York City.
		The clue to that is something that David Thomson says in his Biographical Dictionary of Film -- that Mariel Hemingway in Manhattan is the "purest piece of acting" in all of Allen.
		On this level, Manhattan works just as well as any of his other screenplays (except for perhaps Annie Hall, which, on paper, is his best screenplay).

	dOc DVD Review: Manhattan (1979)
		Manhattan is a love song, pure nostalgia, the sentimental side of Woody Allen.
		Still, the contrast was purposefully soft to lend an ambience of nostalgia to the feel of the film, a sense of Manhattan in its age of elegance.
		The dialogue is distinct and balanced, and within the body of the movie the Gershwin score is proud but tamed.

		So when "Manhattan" was released, Woody's first "true" widescreen picture (so much so that Woody insisted this film NEVER be released on video or shown on television without the fl bars on the top and bottom of the screen), I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
		"Manhattan," in my opinion, is the finest of Woody's "quartet" of masterpieces (the others are "Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters" and "Crimes and Misdemeanors").
		The ultimate triumph of the film is the vastness of the Manhattan landscape that, like some man made nature, seems to overcome their messes, ultimately redeeming their small transgressions.

	Frank Showalter » Manhattan (1979)
		Manhattan is a well written and often insightful movie that does a great job at capturing the dynamics of relationships during the late 70's.
		Manhattan though, is a product of it's time and 25 years later, the dynamics of relationships have changed, a fact Allen explored in his recent movie Anything Else (2003).
		As a result, some of Manhattan feels dated, which somewhat diminishes the relevance of it's insights.

	BBC - Films - review - Manhattan
		"Manhattan" was a milestone in Woody Allen's film-making career and marks the point at which he fully realised his talent.
		Set amidst Allen's own world of Manhattan media high rollers, this hugely entertaining and literate film is a meditation on the clash between the private neurosis and public front of the sophisticated set.
		Woody Allen stars as Isaac, a television comedy writer nervously contemplating the complexities of his life - the triviality of his work, his ambitions, his disastrous relationships with women, and the imminent betrayal of his best friend Yale (Murphy).

		But Manhattan is also distinguished in the realm of home video as the first motion picture to be released only in a letterboxed version.
		When Woody Allen won the Oscar (in abstentia) for writing and directing "Annie Hall," which also won the Oscar for Best Picture, it was assumed the stand-up comic turned auteur had reached the pinnacle of his career.
		Rather than talking about the plot per se, "Manhattan" is best explained as a convoluted series of wrecked and ruined relationships centering around Allen's character, Isaac Davis.

	www.nobby.de / Manhattan (USA 1979) - Directed by Woody Allen
		Mariel Hemingway was born on November 22, 1961, in Ketchum, ID. The striking, squeaky-voiced granddaugher of famed writer Ernest Hemingway made her screen debut at age 14 in the distasteful box-office flop Lipstick (1976).
		Since then, practically none of her movies (including Personal Best, 1982, and Star 80, 1983) was worth of the talent she had displayed in Manhattan.
		Woody developed his character of a bespectacled, self-doubted Jewish-American neurotic, which he was to both vary and refine in the majority of his movies.

		Manhattan is a perfect blend of the fearless contemporary drama of Interiors along with some of his now-classic highbrow comedy perfected in Annie Hall.
		This film is meant almost as a time capsule, to stand as an enduring testimony to what Manhattan was like in the late 1970s.
		There are also the usual barbs directed at Manhattan liberal intellectuals, psychoanalysts, etc. With its driving contemporary human drama coupled with a broad smattering of jokes, Manhattan is a smooth amalgamation of Allen's previous two films.

		On the heels of Annie Hall, the Oscar-winning romantic comedy that rocketed Woody Allen to the front ranks of American filmmakers, Manhattan continued Allen's romantic obsessions in a darker, more pessimistic vein.
		Like Isaac, who can never get past the first sentence of his novel, Yale is crippled by his lack of resolve, as indicated by his inability to leave his wife Emily (Anne Byrne).

	Manhattan review (1979) - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		The real argument is whether Manhattan is a great film for its story and characters or for the beauty of seeing a city never looking so gorgeous, shot in lush fl-and-white, with brilliant cinematography by Gordon Willis (The Godfather, Annie Hall).
		While the story is interesting and the characters fresh and vibrant, what really sets Manhattan apart is the widescreen format, the sleek fl-and-white look, the glorious cinematography, and the George Gershwin music that accentuates everything throughout.
		This is a film as much about a love affair with New York City as it is between four of its inhabitants, a love so strong that Woody Allen could never see leaving its crowded apartment buildings and brown water to be with the woman he loves somewhere else.

		I first heard this album soon after its 1979 premiere (on the former Columbia Masterworks label), not knowing much about George or Ira.
		Then I heard the opening of 'Rhapsody In Blue', with Gary Graffman at the piano and Zubin Mehta leading the New York Philharmonic, and became hooked on their music.
		From the opening trill and glissando of 'Rhapsody' to the sweetly-mournful close of 'But Not For Me,' the 'Manhattan' soundtrack captures the breeziness and romance of New York -- not some fantasy or archaic vision of the city, but the style of the Big Town at its best.

		I stuck my hand up to review this DVD predominantly on the basis that Manhattan is rated in the Internet Movie Database Top 250, therefore it must have some merit.
		Of course, the same applied to Annie Hall, yet that clearly was a film with which I was not at all impressed, so you can appreciate that I was approaching this review session with an even greater degree of trepidation in view of the grand experiment failing miserably with Annie Hall.
		On the whole, critical acclaim for Manhattan seems to be somewhat less than for Annie Hall, so in some sort of perverted way that would probably account for why I find Manhattan a more palatable film.
