I've always adored Woody Allen films. My personal favorite is his semi-autobiography Radio Days (1987) but his latest film is a close second. A wild and whimsical ride with out-of-control dialogue (as usual) and perfect casting. It's as self-aware as all Allen's films but in a different way. Being a writer, connecting with yourself, connecting with place and time, understanding love... all the thinking and evaluating that makes a great intellectual drama but coated with comedy and travel and fantasy.
