Annie Hall = 4/5; Manhattan a solid 5

i haven't seen those in a long time. i remember annie hall a lot better, having seen it repeatedly. what i remember of manhattan is the hemingway girl in black and white, and she buys him a harmonica or something? the whole thing about him having to be less cerebral. things fade in memory. i should watch that again. i was probably high when i saw it because i remember the people i saw it with and they were never ever sober.
i saw this the other day:
DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID (Buñuel, 1964). Buñuel is so weird sometimes I think he turned a straightforward story into a bunch of broken scenes to mock the bourgeoisie, but what was fantastic about this film was Jeanne Moreau-- what an amazing face! A masterpiece really (her face, not the movie). I looked for a photo to post here but none really catch the movement of those eyes--the disc cover does a good job though.
