his weekend marked the opening of Woody Allen's brand-new film Vicky Christina Barcelona, a film that has already garnered a number of glowing reviews. I would definitely suggest you check it out since any Woody Allen release is worth a view, but if you haven't seen it yet (or even if you have), you should check out Manhattan at the Bloor Cinema tonight. This 1979 black and white masterpiece about a 42 year old man's relationship with a 17 year old (disturbingly prescient) has often been considered Allen's best of all time, a high distinction if there ever was one. See it for the naturalistic action, the beautiful cinematography, and the well-written script. Then compare it against Vicky Christina Barcelona and impress all your friends (if your friends are all film geeks).
