Manhatton, Woody Allen, not at his best. I really like the film work in this film. The story is slow and does not really have resolution for the character in the end. I know he figures out that he let the girl that really loved him go. It just is hard to make the jump with him. It is like a pinball machine of relationships. The choice to film completely in black and white was brilliant. I felt a little bewildered by Isaac’s moral choices. His character was played up as someone who adhered to old school values, yet his choices only reflected that when dealing with people already involved in relationships. His own relationship with a 17yr old was a little out side his characters value system.
It was so slow, and a little boring, in my humble opinion not one of his finer pieces. I would pass it up for Manhattan Murder Mystery, which if you watch first you think Manhattan is the first of a 2 part, except for the characters have different names.
