One of Woody Allen's most triumphant films, Hannah and Her Sisters is a lyrical New York picture surrounding the romantic relationships of three sisters.
Hannah (Mia Farrow) seems happily married to Elliott (Michael Caine); but he's secretly obsessed with her spirited younger sister Lee (Barbara Hershey), while Lee herself ponders whether to leave her boyfriend, tortured artist Frederick (Max von Sydow). Then there's flaky, troubled Holly (Dianne Wiest), who's also struggling to find her way...
Recalling Annie Hall with its deceptively light-hearted focus on changing affections, it boasts some of Allen's best dialogue, as well as Michael Caine on superb form as the handsome but hapless Elliott – anxious, in love, and unsure where to lay his hat.
