Annie Hall
Annie Hall is a 1977 romantic comedy film directed by Woody Allen, widely regarded as a landmark in American cinema.
The film follows the neurotic comedian Alvy Singer and his relationship with the quirky, free-spirited Annie Hall, played by Diane Keaton.
Its influence on fashion, dialogue style, and the romantic comedy genre was substantial—Keaton's androgynous wardrobe of vests, ties, and oversized menswear became iconic.
The title occasionally appears as shorthand for a certain type of intellectual, self-aware romantic comedy: It's very Annie Hall.
