That said, I can't recommend <i>Radio Days</i> enough. This isn't Allen trying to sleep with women half his age or mooning about his neuroses. This is him looking back at his childhood through very rosy glasses. It's sweet and heartfelt, and is really some of his best writing.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-74663413885534292552014-06-22T14:56:16.745-05:002014-06-22T14:56:16.745-05:00Well, I've never seen Radio Days, so it's ...Well, I've never seen Radio Days, so it's easy for me to go with Au Revoir les Enfants. Radio Days is on the former TSPDT list so I may see it someday. Allen is a mixed bag with me, falling on the spectrum all the way from hated it to loved it when it comes to his films.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-65357484019260300812014-06-14T10:55:10.853-05:002014-06-14T10:55:10.853-05:00I'd have been okay with it.

This one affected me far more than I thought it could, and much of that comes from how well it was written.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-86700563278791039172014-06-14T09:51:36.972-05:002014-06-14T09:51:36.972-05:00Best Screenplay is a difficult one for me.

We are supposed to believe that this film is made many years later by Julian and although we see the story from his viewpoint as a child there are so many adult elements there that may or may not register with a child that you get this feeling that there is a much bigger story here than what you see. That sounds to me like an excellent screenplay. I would have loved to see that one winning.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.com
