Neurotiska städer : Stadens roll i Woody Allens filmer / Neurotic Cities

The main purpose of this essay is to examine the narrative function of the city in the films of Woody Allen. This was achieved through a narrative and comparative analysis of four of his city films: Manhattan (1979), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Midnight in Paris (2011) and To Rome with Love (2012). The results of this examination show that the city has a variety of narrative functions throughout the films. The city provides a natural environment that enables character meetings. Living in the city can be so sought after, that the city itself becomes an important goal for the protagonist. Portraying the city is often an essential part of a reflexive narrative. The city is utilized for this and more in the films of Woody Allen.
