One of Allen's best films, HaHS is a 80's gem with vivid characters and a witty screenplay. The films revolves around three sisters. Mia Farrow plays Hannah the most worldly and successful of the the three sisters and is married to Elliot (Michael Caine). Elliot has eyes for Hannah's sister Lee (Barbara Hershey). Dianne Wiest plays the other sister, Holly who is struggling with addictions and other life problems.
The film is enjoyable and eccentric, typical of all of Allen's work. There are intertitles to separate each scene which give the film an ongoing literary commentary.
The performances are great and Allen's character is funny (he is a hypochondriac). There is a bittersweet nature to the story and the characters are richly developed making them tangible and life-like.
This is a great film and fans of Woody Allen will love it.
