Hannah and Her Sisters
Hannah and Her Sisters is a 1986 American comedydrama film which tells the intertwined stories of an extended family over two years that begins and ends with a family Thanksgiving dinner. The film was written and directed by Woody Allen, who stars along with Mia Farrow as Hannah, Michael Caine as her husband, and Barbara Hershey and Dianne Wiest as her sisters.
The story is told in three main arcs, with most of it occurring during a 24month period beginning and ending at Thanksgiving parties hosted by Hannah Mia Farrow and her husband, Elliot Michael Caine. Hannah serves as the stalwart hub of the narrative most of the events of the film connect to her.Elliot becomes infatuated with one of Hannahs sisters, Lee Barbara Hershey, and eventually begins an affair with her. Elliot attributes his behavior to his discontent with his wifes selfsufficiency and resentment of her emotional strength. Lee has lived for five years with a reclusive artist, Frederick Max von Sydow, who is much older. She finds her relationship with Frederick no longer intellectually or sexually stimulating, in spite of or maybe because of Fredericks professed interest in continuing to teach her. She leaves Frederick after he discovers her affair with Elliot. For the remainder of the year between the first and second Thanksgiving gatherings, Elliot and Lee carry on their affair despite Elliots inability to end his marriage to Hannah. Lee finally ends the affair during the second Thanksgiving, explaining that she is finished waiting for him to commit and that she has started dating someone else. ........
