7/10
A very strange British road movie from 1980, it features a disc jockey taking a road trip from London to Bristol upon hearing the news of his brother's death. It's shot in stark black and white with very minimal dialogue and features a great soundtrack, certainly of its time (Kraftwerk, Devo, David Bowie). It's puzzling to say the least, and I think I'd have to revisit it to find out just how much I liked it. Very interesting though.

The first time I've been equally impressed by Woody Allen as a director than as a writer, Manhattan has some really beautiful photography...not what I was expecting, to be honest. Black and white really served the movie well. I didn't find it to have the same depth as Annie Hall but it was almost as charming, and I found it more likeable than Hannah & Her Sisters (the only two similar Woody movies I've seen to compare it to).
10/10
I don't even know what I could say to possibly do it justice. I'll be the first to admit I don't understand everything but I've rarely been so fully entranced by a 2h30m movie. This is cinema as art in its highest form. Still under its spell. I got nothing.
