Annie Hall

The comedian Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) is trying to understand why his relationship with Annie Hall (Diane Keaton) ended a year ago. Growing up in New York, he vexed his mother with impossible questions about the emptiness of existence, but he was precocious about his innocent sexual curiosity. Annie and Alvy, in a theater queue to watch The Sorrow and the Pity, overhear another man deriding the work of Federico Fellini and Marshall McLuhan; McLuhan himself steps in at Alvy's invitation to criticize the man's comprehension. That night, Annie shows no interest in sex with Alvy. Instead, they discuss his first wife (Carol Kane), whom he was unable to enjoy despite her interest in him. With Annie, it is different. The two of them have fun making a meal of boiled lobster together. He teases her about the unusual men in her past; his second marriage was to a New York writer who didn't like sports and was unable to reach orgasm.
