[net.movies] Hanna and her sisters

	I saw Hanna and her sisters. I liked it a lot. I have a few comments
for anyone planning to see it.
	This is not a comedy. There are several very funny *moments*, but
in general it is not a comedy. Woody Allen really admires Bergman, and
his films are becoming more and more sensative. If you are looking for
something like Play it Again Sam, or Annie Hall, forget it. This is more
like a cheerful version of Interiors.

Mild disagreement. It is not a farce, like "Bananas," but it is a comedy.
The classical definition of comedy is that an important subject is
treated in a non-tragic way. This means that a comedy does not have
to provoke belly laughs. I found myself smiling throughout the movie,
although I rarely laughed.
