Film Allusions (spoilers)


Clearly, Woody Allen is a film buff. Here are the film homages I noted, did I miss any?:

8 1/2, Persona, Exterminating Angel, Jules et Jim, A Man and a Woman, Breathless, Seventh Seal.

There are a dinner scene allusion I couldn’t place (it had the Japanese film recommendations) , is it Discreet Charms of the Bourgeoisie.

You missed Citizen Kane!

According to Wikipedia, there is also Bergman’s Wild Strawberries, but I don’t know how it fits.

I thought the meal scene could be a reference to a Rohmer movie, since Mort mentions “Claire’s Knee”.
