Manhattan a tavola (At the table in Manhattan)

Dinner with Annie in a Manhattan diner or lunch with Hannah and her sisters on Thanksgiving, in a Paris bistro, at  Gritti di Venezia or in a London pub, Woody Allen surprises us with his use of food and drinks in his films. Whether to make us feel more intellectual, to dream of a sweeter and more frustrating love, to talk and talk with friends, to discuss neuroses on a psychoanalyst’s couch, in each case, food is often the “side” for the great American director. From Ciao Pussycat to Vicky Cristina Barcelona, the journey is always long and full of surprises and unexpected culinary references.

Other books in this series by Luca Glebb Miroglio are Alla ricerca della madeleine – A tavola con Marcel Proust, Cuoche sull’orlo di una crisi di nervi – A tavola con Pedro Almodóvar e Manhattan a tavola: delicatessen, bistrot, trattorie.
