Using romanticism, cynicism, angst, and comedy in his films Allen has created several film masterpieces. This class will view six of Allen’s works to offer insight into his often off-kilter view of American culture, customs, and values and how each relates to Allen’s hallmark existential quip that “in the end it’s all so meaningless.”
