A couple of lesser known Woody Allen films that are some of his bets work.
"Sweet an Low Down"
Sweet and Lowdown is a 1999 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Woody Allen. The film tells the story, set in the 1930s, of a fictional jazz guitarist named Emmet Ray (played by Sean Penn) who regards himself as the second greatest guitarist in the world (after jazz icon Django Reinhardt) who falls in love with a mute woman (Samantha Morton). The film also stars Uma Thurman and Anthony LaPaglia.
The film, loosely based on Federico Fellini's film La Strada, was one of Allen's best-received dramatic films.[1] Penn and Morton both received Oscar nominations, for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress respectively.
"Crimes and Misdemeanors"
Crimes and Misdemeanors is a 1989 existential drama written, directed by and co-starring Woody Allen, alongside Martin Landau, Mia Farrow, Anjelica Huston, Jerry Orbach, Alan Alda, Sam Waterston and Joanna Gleason.
