"I thought of that old joke...this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, 'Doc, my brothers crazy, he thinks he's a chicken' and the Doc says 'well, why don't you turn him in?' And the guys says, 'I would, but I need the eggs.' Well, I guess that's pretty much how I feel about relationships, you know they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd, but, I guess, we keep going through it because, most of us...we need the eggs."
-Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) in ANNIE HALL
The same year STARS WARS came out, ANNIE HALL, Woody Allen's neurotic discourse on love, sex and himself, swept through the Academy, taking home four Oscars- Best Picture, Director, Screenplay and Actress (Diane Keaton). At times hilarious, nonsensical, romantic and tragic, this is truly one of the greatest and most sincere films to ever touch American screens. Even those folks out there who don't find Allen's style (or personal life) all that appealing, will find in ANNIE HALL a brilliant reaffirmation of what it means to be in love. Featuring a marvelous supporting cast, including Tony Roberts, Carol Kane, Christopher Walken and Paul Simon.
Chef John Bullington has prepared an ANNIE HALL Feast that highlights the culinary delights of Allen's one true love, New York City.
