“A Pretty Song” Sweet And Lowdown: The Woody Allen Pages Review
The arc of Woody Allen’s career has taken many side roads, but Sweet And Lowdown could be the most un-Woody Allen of all of Woody Allen’s films. A fictional biopic period drama about a struggling jazz guitarist, it’s far from New York, it’s far from one liners and it’s far from Woody Allen. But the […]
VOTW: Woody Allen @ Cannes 2010 For You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger
Allen’s latest, Blue Jasmine, didn’t make it to Cannes this year. But the actor will return to the city in a couple of months to make his 2014 film. With the wrap up of Cannes 2012, we thought we’d revisit some old interviews with Allen at Cannes. We settled on a series of interviews from […]

Reports Of A New Woody Allen Project In Brazil
Two articles coming out of Brazil have mentioned actresses that have been approached to be part of a new Woody Allen project. The reports have little information, but are interesting nonetheless (and it doesn’t seem to be an April Fool’s). Firstly the articles (translated by Google, so the bad grammar is not the site’s fault): […]
“A Bitter Pill”: Celebrity – The Woody Allen Pages Review
Coming straight after Deconstructing Harry, Celebrity is another harsh, angry film. Shot in stark black and white and with a biting, sour message, it is at times hard to swallow. It has its moments but its an angry yell that lacks heart. Kenneth Branagh stars as Lee Simon, a journalist with aspirations of higher writing. […]
