Blue Jasmine saw Allen return to America after another stint abroad, but he surprised his audience by not returning to New York – at least not fully. Allen announced that the film would be made in San Francisco, where he made his very first film Take The Money And Run (1969). Although some scenes would […]

Our latest video essays looks at one of Allen’s least popular films – 1988’s Another Woman. Released in 1988, it was only Allen’s third drama, and one plagued by casting issues, with many scenes being cut. It’s obscure (and sometimes hard to find) – so how well do you know it? Our video looks at […]

It’s Award Season, the season that Woody Allen could famously could not care less about. Despite all the awards he has won, Allen has only ever appeared at one Award show – the Academy Awards in 2002. And he did it because of 9/11. It’s our highly irregular video of the week. It is one […]

Two of those nods were to two of Allen’s longest collaborators. Cafe Society picked up a nomination at the Art Director’s Guild Awards. Production Designer Santo […]
Our video series continues with our look at September, a notorious film in Allen’s catalogue. It is by far his smallest, and his lowest earning. He also remade the film immediately after he shot it with a new cast. The film polarised his audience in 1987 when it was released, but as the decades wore on, […]
Café Society was one of Allen’s most lavish films in recent years. Not only were the costumes and sets amazing in their recreation of the 1930s, Allen also shot in two major cities – Los Angeles (for the first time since Annie Hall in 1977) and his beloved New York. Allen and his team found […]
