This film is among the masterpieces of American cinema. For all the ballyhoo Mr. Allen has received in his personal life, his testament here to the bittersweet idiosyncrasies of relationships speaks truer to the heart than any movie (outside of Casablanca) that I have had the privilege to see. The wit of his characters' dialogue, the spontaneity of Ms. Keaton's performance, the afterglow of Allen's romance with New York City - each gives the movie a magical quality that resonates into our daily lives, our passionate ambitions, even our dreams. It is a film to treasure.
