Diane Keaton Retrospective




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic While the late, great Diane Keaton, who died in October, was adept at both comedy and drama, she probably is best known for her film comedies. We will focus on four that display her expertise in this genre and discuss what makes these movies so memorable, including casting, directors, film scores, script, and cinematography. First up will be Annie Hall (1977), about a divorced comedian played by Woody Allen, who also directed, reflecting on his relationship with former lover Annie Hall. Keaton earned the Oscar for Best Actress. Next will be Baby Boom (1987), where she plays a Manhattan career woman who is suddenly forced to care for a toddler and moves to rural Vermont. In The First Wives Club (1996), she more than holds her own with powerhouse actresses Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn as a trio of “first wives,” middle-aged women divorced by their husbands for younger women. Last is Something’s Gotta Give (2003), in which Keaton plays a middle-aged playwright who falls in love with her daughter's much older boyfriend played by Jack Nicholson. Members will view these films, available on streaming services, in advance of each session. Join us for an entertaining retrospective of this beloved actress.
