Books like Hannah and Her Sisters

Jesus, Woody Allen scripts have a helluva lot of description and direction in them!HANNAH: (eating, nodding) H-H-Hello!The score of classical music is in time with the following of Lee's stammers:LEE: (agreeing, dusting, walking over to the piano) So I-I-I was thinking...HANNAH: (overlapping) D-D-Did you l-l-l-like those clams?If actors are supposed to take them seriously, there's a lot of eating talking and walking and stammering at the same time and scratching the head etc. It's detailed but surely it's just to give an impression of the scene's fluidity. I doubt I could hold the script up to the film like a little checklist and be like 'Eating, talking, nodding, agreeing... Well done, Mia: the full package!' AhahaI think they still make films like this but I don't think they're as lauded anymore. Seems like too much of a luxury—white people whose problems aren't serious, and then the problems go away anyway—to be taken seriously.But it's a real joy to watch, I tell you! Probably my favourite of his films :)
