Allen returns to New York, and focus is not Allen’s usual upper, more posh addresses. He sticks to downtown, Chinatown […]

5 Films (And A TV Show)… A series where we recommend films referenced, inspired, influenced or generally like a certain Woody Allen film, from his first to his latest. All picks are subjective – let the arguments begin! Mighty Aphrodite is typical of his 90s work, of bringing a bit of Hollywood fantasy with the […]

Our latest video looks at one of our favourites – Bullets Over Broadway. It was a huge critical success for Allen, and audiences loved it too. It uses so many elements that Allen loves – the Jazz era, two bit gangsters, strong female leads and an underlying philosophical theme. But how well do you know […]
