Most ‘Ensemble’ films deal with a single character and/or location and/or the person that transforms their story into a cinematic ensemble. A typical example would be the film ‘Magnolia’ where the interaction among several characters during one normal day interweaves nine separate yet connected storylines. Every interaction is pivoted in some way or another on Earl Patridge, the character played by Jason Robards. Woody Allen once stated that this film style is something of a homage to Anna Karenina, and that it was that story that influenced him while he was making Hannah and Her Sisters. Most of these films have been applauded for their multiple plots and characters, many of these films respectively receive Award nominations for their supporting roles.
