All things Woody Allen – a fansite, news and reviews
We started this poll at the start of March and the world has changed since then!

Woody Allen is the film critic’s darling, and outside of directors, the role that critics love to talk about is cinematography. And with Allen, rightly so. Allen himself has never been the most technically minded, or technically patient, filmmaker. Yet he is meticulous about making beautiful films. The result is Allen usually allows cinematographers to […]

You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger sees Allen return to London, and is the last of four films he made there in the second half of the 00s. London doesn’t get the postcard treatment afforded by Allen to Manhattan or Paris. Instead, he loves the streets and the shadows, the overcast skies. Stranger features […]

Music Of Woody Allen Films – an irregular feature about the musical compositions that have helped to make Allen’s films sing. Woody Allen had made a deal to make a film in Spain, but had yet to settle on what to do for the soundtrack. It wasn’t right to go back to Allen’s usual go-to […]
