Very good movie: fun, catchy and dazzling. Great insofar it does what it wants to do perfectly. Less great insofar there is no real depth. Some say this is because it's postmodern, and that's the point. I, however, think it isn't, postmodernism is meant to frame deeper truths (which, of course, means something different in p-m) and stating that the point is that there is no point is just lazy.
This excerpt from a Pat Dowell review feels so accurate…
My eyes rolled back up my skull further than the stick up Alvy's ass. Even more dispairing, apparently many man find Alvy very relatable (???) What to do when a free uneducated spirit is confronted with an highly individual inteligent man? Alvy gearshifts the anal stick into feeding his ego a new possession and the coveted possibility of escaping himself. How tough is to be a man, this movie tells you. Agh... and yet, it was a good movie.
