Annie Hall is a difficult one to review. We’ve seen this film so many times. For most people, it’s the first Woody Allen film you hear about, and the first you ever saw. It’s been with us long enough to inspire a love that led to a whole website. It’s considered the best Woody Allen […]

This week brought sad news of the passing of two people who had a crucial effect on Woody Allen’s early career. Marvin Hamlisch 1944-2012 Marvin Hamlisch has had a long career and a composer, mainly in films. He has written songs that everyone knows. He is most famous for the song ‘The Way We Were‘, […]

Love And Death marks the end of Woody Allen’s ‘early, funny’ period. Although not as openly mad and frenetic as Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex…, it sees Allen flirting with influences beyond his stand up and TV persona. It’s one of his funniest films, but it also hints at something a lot […]

Sleeper is Woody Allen’s 4th film as a director, lead actor and writer. Another farcical comedy, it continues his growth as a visual director, a writer with more than just jokes and probably most importantly of all – the arrival of Diane Keaton into his films. Keaton and Allen had appeared together in Play It […]
As is standard for Woody Allen’s work rate, his latest film (To Rome With Love) is still in theatres, yet he’s already hard at work on his next work.

The folks at Open Culture recently wrote this up. They love posting old videos, and this one weird and great – a series of TV ads that Woody Allen made for the Japanese Department Store Seibu. We don’t know much else. If anyone wants o help with the translating, that would be great. It was […]
