New York is portrayed with comic humor and intimacy

Love sketches are also very flavorful: nostalgic jazz, the color impression of the golden age, and the sigh of life. Both male and female protagonists want to get true love, but unfortunately they are all defeated in the face of cruel reality. In the end, only beautiful memories and the pain of lovesickness are left in the distance. "An unexamined life is not worth living, but the examined one is no bargin", this line of dialogue near the end keeps me thinking about it, and the handling of the ending is quite wonderful. Woody Allen's portrayal of New York has comic humor and intimacy, and he is more open-minded and self-deprecating about his Jewish identity than ever before. Unexpectedly, the older the director is, the more open his mind becomes. Definitely a must-see comedy this year.

Coffee commune - about love, the mystery that can't be solved even at the age of 80

The rhythm is good, the picture is beautiful, and there are also high-light lines when it stops. It's a good film for entertainment.
