All things Woody Allen – a fansite, news and reviews
Radio Days marks the culmination of everything Woody Allen had done to that point.

Woody Allen returns to modern day NYC for the first time since Manhattan with Hannah And Her Sisters is one of Woody Allen’s most loved films. A sprawling, rambling tale of three sisters who live in New York, and the lives they lead. It is little more than that – but the charm and flair […]
It’s Thanksgiving, and we agree with IFC when they say that the very best film about the holiday is Hannah And Her Sisters. The film is bookended by Thanksgivings as we follow the lives of this large crazy family. So this week we thought we’d go with our favourite scene from ‘Hannah And Her Sisters‘. […]
Liev Schrieber got a visit from his son Alexander on the set of Fading Gigolo this week. We also got our first glimpse of him in full Hasidic Jew get up. Schrieber brought some of his physicality to the scene, stopping a fight after a car accident, restraining a man with a baseball bat and […]

The Purple Rose Of Cairo holds a special place in Woody Allen’s filmography. It is Woody Allen’s own favourite of his films, whilst he consistently rags on just about every other one. Even now, he claims it is the film that is closest to his original vision. From it, we can see what it is […]

Update! It seems a racist, anti-Jewish website has linked to this page because of the image of Liev Schreiber. Can I just say, hi you racists. Fuck you and your small cocks that make you so angry at things you don’t understand. Go die! Bless. Fading Gigolo, the new film from John Turturro, starring Woody […]
Let’s face it – we adore Sally Hawkins. Her starring roles in Mike Leigh‘s ‘Happy-Go-Lucky‘ and Nigel Cole‘s ‘Made In Dagenham‘ were both fantastic, and we can’t wait to see her in the 2013 Woody Allen film. She previously worked with Allen in Cassandra’s Dream. We’ve covered some of her recent press about Woody, as […]
Our twice monthly wrap up of Woody Allen bits from around the web. Greta Gerwig, who starred in To Rome With Love, has been talking Woody Allen again. She’s out promoting ‘Lola Versus‘, and told Style.com about working with Allen. Being chosen by Woody Allen, it’s like being chosen by God! She also evoked Allen […]
Broadway Danny Rose marks the end of Allen’s fascination with European cinema, and marks a film that is very much his own. It’s a small story – and a short one – but Allen’s story is full of heart and he creates two of his best characters. It also marks the first knockout performance by […]

But you […]

A great video did the rounds this week. An energetic mash up of scenes from IMDB’s 250 by Jonathan Keogh. It’s a rush for the film lover, who would know and love dozens and ozens of the films here. Most films get an odd second or two of love, but Annie Hall gets a surprise […]
