In tribute to 75 years old New York filmmaker for the past day 1, the English Film Library has scheduled a special cycle with his films: a retrospective with 38 titles so far led by Allen, which will run during the months of December and January.
The projections will be going in chronological order and begins with the plays that shaped the sexual humor of an entire generation - like "Bananas" or "Everything you ever wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask " - to continue with their famous stories about Manhattan and New Yorkers -" Annie Hall "," to Manhattan, "" Hannah and Her Sisters "- legendary titles and unclassifiable -" Zelig, "" Another Woman "- its ironic reflections on the couple - "Husbands and Wives," "Alice", "Melinda & Melinda" -, or artistic creation - "Bullets Over Broadwway" "Hollywood Ending" . There will be room for Allen's other passions, including music, which is represented by the documental "Wild Man Blues."
Actor, director, musician and writer, Woody Allen oft coined the phrase: "My brain is my second favorite organ." Beyond its no less popular neurosis, the story of his creative process is a movie plot itself. There are two interesting pieces that reflect the particularities of their way to make movies and share the title "Conversations with Woody Allen, the first signed by Jean-Michel Frodon , second, and most recently by Eric Lax certainly a privileged witness of the universe Allen has had access to filming, editing and tense moments art. Listen to the author's always a great way to dive into the internals of an operator, so is following the same route from a more objective point of view, as suggested in the text "In search of Woody Allen: Sex, death and culture his film ", or focus on one of the most celebrated aspects of his work: his ability to teach us to laugh at ourselves in " Woody Allen's humor. "
Woody Allen likes to surprise, for sure. Had a famous English actor that every day she was with him on the film set asked: ... "And you, what are you doing here?" leaving him completely baffled. We shall soon see if their work with Mrs Sarkozy, Carla Bruni, has been more than a coincidence deliberate from the media office of the French government, or if "Midnight in Paris" justifies the media controversy of the above and to its release. Meanwhile we can enjoy all these titles by the author New York have always wanted to review as they deserve: big screen and in the very heart of a great city.
