Bananas
The Revolutionist That Shook the World With LAUGHTER!
Directed by Woody Allen
Produced by Jack Rollins & Charles H. Joffe Productions, United Artists
A frenetic, absurdist political satire that uses anarchic comedy and surreal set pieces to mock revolution, activism, and masculine incompetence.
When a bumbling New Yorker is dumped by his activist girlfriend, he travels to a tiny Latin American nation and becomes involved in its latest rebellion.
