Hannah and Her Sisters
Family Reunions
•
1h 46m
Directed by Woody Allen • 1986 • United States
Starring Mia Farrow, Woody Allen, Michael Caine
One of Woody Allen’s best-loved films charts the messy, intersecting relationships between a coterie of Manhattanites over a two year period. Between Thanksgivings at her apartment, Hannah (Mia Farrow) and her sisters (Barbara Hershey and Dianne Wiest) fall in and out of love with various men: a hypochondriac television producer (Allen), a philandering accountant (Michael Caine), and a morose artist (Max von Sydow). Scripted with Chekhovian brilliance and performed by a virtuoso ensemble cast that includes an Oscar-winning Wiest and Caine, HANNAH AND HER SISTERS finds Allen achieving the perfect balance between the Bergmanesque European art cinema he idolized and his own distinctive, New York–neurotic comic voice.
