This 1977 Woody Allen film is the typical story in typical Woody Allen style of a typical insecure nervous guy Alvy Singer @ Max (Woody Allen), a comedian, monologuing about his frustrating life and his break-up with his girlfriend, Annie Hall.
He starts talking about his childhood life living under a roller coaster and his perennially squabbling parents and his weird Jewish relatives.
Max, after 2 failed marriages, try to make it with a struggling singer, Annie (Diane Keaton). The two are equally pathologically pessimistic on everything. They find a psychoanalytical explanation to their every dissatisfaction. Even I would get irritated with his constant each others' squealing and whining if I were in their shoes.
He makes everything look complicated and so does she.
After living together for some time in New York, he manages to give her confidence to sing and jump start her flogging singing career. Then they got bored with each other. After some soul searching in California, they go separate ways.
She then lives in with a guy in California but that also did not work out after some time. Life goes on.
Max stages his first play based on his life story.
Max and Annie bump into each other one day. They had coffee and some casual talk, and head on separate ways, both happy with such an arrangement.
I remember watching Woody Allen long ago in RRF as the disgruntled insecure loser narrating his life failures and since he has made many such depressing movies. In a way, he is just laughing at the modern life style. I guess, in real life too, he must be weird - with the same spectacle frame over the years and the inappropriate behaviour with his step daughter!
