All things Woody Allen – a fansite, news and reviews
Café Society has screened at the 69th Cannes Film Festival – it was the prestigious opening night film.

Music Of Woody Allen Films – an irregular feature about the musical compositions that have helped to make Allen’s films sing. Zelig was one of Woody Allen’s longest and most ambitious productions.
