Woody Allen: Film by Film Thread

I'd agree that "Broadway Danny Rose" is the film that has most risen in stature through repeated viewings for me. I don't recall being in love with "Another Woman" at first blush either, but at tenth blush I refuse to accept that condemnation - it's really a good film. I always thought "Love and Death" was funny when I was teenager, but reading and teaching existentialist Russian lit (like the guy over there on the left) made me appreciate it a great deal more.

"Tiger Lily" might not be high art, but one joke makes me laugh every time, even when I know it's coming - "Mom!"

 

I watched „Zelig“ and „Love and Death“ once again and come to the conclusion that Woody Allen is a genius! I can‘t think of a filmmaker who wrote, directed and sometimes starred in so many incredible movies

 

I just watched „Stardust Memories“ for the first time! This movie is a true masterpiece and maybe his most underrated film. I especially appreciated that he wasn’t simply copying „8 1/2“. I really think that these two movies are different takes on a similar topic. And man, the final scene of „Stardust Memories“ is pure genius! I guess I have a new secret favourite from Woody Allen‘s repertoire

 

I have to write something similar about „The Purple Rose of Cairo“: MASTERPIECE!

 

The clock is now ticking for "Coup De Chance" to appear!
Woody Allen’s Latest Movie ‘Coup De Chance’ Is Heading To Market – Deadline

 

Yes!

 

Hallelujah!

 

Cue outrage from the UK press that an Amercan's making a French policier

 

Cue disinterest from 99% of the American film going public for a movie in French.

 

I‘m looking forward to this project because of two reasons: Firstly I‘m a massive Woody Allen fan. Secondly I‘m learning French as a foreign language.

 

I just watched „Broadway Danny Rose“ for the first time and man, this fantastic movie is intelligent, funny and sad at the same time.

 

Here's a warm-up for you if you can find it:

 

Every day I say my three Ss.

 

Thank you!

 

Can I interject just one concept at this juncture?

 

Cannes Director Says Woody Allen Film Wasn’t a Candidate for 2023: ‘The Controversy Would Take Over’

 

Questionable logic.

 

Oh oh if France is turning their back on him…

 

Wow. Cheap shot.

 

Wow! The movie is shot in France with French actors speaking French (w/english subtitles). What more do the Frenchies want?

 

You obviously rounded down.

 

"Hey, I'm TOBY TWELVE-PACK from Trailer Trash, USA. I don't watch no moovees (sic) in French becuz they don't speak English! I finds it hard ta pay attenshun while dipping my pretzels in Cheese Whiz if I gotz ta pay heed to them there subtitles! Ahm a real 'Murican, anyway, so I don't be watchin' that furine (foreign) sh!t anyhow! Dern them Frenchies . . . first they were doin' French fries made outta the good ole 'Murican potatoe (Dan Quayle spelling!) and now they iz makin' moovees in a furine language! I don't haz to put up with that crap!

Now ahm gonna go watch the sports show about armless rodeo riders!"

'nuff said.

 

And the Guardian piece sees the need to revisit things too

 

Non-movie question:

does Woody Allen still go to the Knicks games? Just curious as they are doing well in the playoffs…
