L’introduction est magique. Gershwin et New York en noir et blanc. Sublime

grand film
J'avais vu ce film il y a bien des années. L'inventivité du langage est à son maximum. Les situations sociales sont à hurler de rire. Un must

l'esprit Woody
l'esprit Woody me fait rire, j'adore cette forme d'ironie, et ces scénarios qui font penser au début que la vie est un long fleuve tranquille... mais qui très vite deviennent tortueux et nous font perdre nos illusions sur les contes de fées amoureux , avec un grand humour et un brin de cynisme , Bravo !

Manhattan
Voir et revoir ce chef d'oeuvre de Woody Allen, de préférence en VOSTF, je ne m'en lasse pas. Quant à la prestation, rien à redire, elle est impeccable

Contenu super mais forme pas terrible
Le film est super mais la qualité du DVD est très moyenne. C'est dommage ! Il faudrait les passer en version numérique.

One of Woody's classics :)
Strangely thought provoking tale by Woody set in New York with all his death and dying themes!! Dark romantic comedy???

"I thought I took it rather well under the circumstances. I tried to run them both over with a car..."
Woody Allen's "Manhattan" is truly one of those rare masterpieces where you don't feel like you're watching a movie with actors. No, it feels like you're watching life and that these actors are the real people they portray. You forget that this is only a DVD that's playing on your TV, and that's because you get so wrapped up into it all. The people are real and flawed, and yet we can't help but sympathize for them all. After it was done, I seriously had to ask myself, "Was that a movie I just watched, or did that really happen?" My only regret is that it took me so long to finally see it, but I guess late is better than never--not to mention that I might not have appreciated it like I do now if I had seen it earlier. The movie is not about plot. It doesn't feel like it's all getting to this fixed ending that it has been leading to since the first minute. "Manhattan" is focused on these complex and usually unsatisfying relationships. These people think they're happy one minute, but then you can tell that there's something they find not right about it all. Issac is a 42 year old who's in a relationship with a girl who is 17 going on 18, but she's more in love with him than he is. His best friend is having an affair with Jill, and being frustrated with the fact that she's into a married man, she starts hanging out with Isaac and the two start to fall for each other--and this ends up complicating things even further. Let's not forget the fact that Isaac's ex is writing and publishing a very unfavorable book that details some of the dissatisfactions with their relationship. In the end, everybody just wants to be happy and find that someone that will make them complete, but as "Manhattan" tells it like it is, that is rarely ever an easy task. It sounds like there's so much going on in this film, and yet everything unfolds with such ease. You never feel overwhelmed, just saddened by the fact that the film is very honest. Again, all of these people are flawed and have issues, but you can also find something redeeming about all of them. The cinematography is breathtaking giving you beautiful images of Manhattan, and having it all shot in black & white enhances the movie even more. I really admire how there are a lot of times where there are scenes that go on without a lot of edits, which brings you into the moment and makes you feel like this is all happening. I know that this review is not doing the movie justice, but it's really hard to sum up the experience in a few paragraphs. The best advice I can give you is to see it. Even if you end up not liking it, see it at least once so you can at least say that you have seen it. The movie is a complete gem when it comes to the writing and the cinematography. I'm glad that I decided to give this wonderful movie a chance, and it is something I could watch again and again. "Manhattan" is a film that I will never forget, and the very last line is something that will stay with me for days. -Michael Crane

Perfect
I love movies based in NYC, specially when I grew up there in the 70's. This is one of my favorite movies, top ten.

Obra maestra
Una de las mejores películas de Woody Allen en un edición con buena calidad de imagen que permite apreciar la fantástica fotografía de Gordon Willis en todo su esplendor.
