My girlfriend passed away in 2014 at the age of 25 and the single greatest comfort that got me through the immense grieving process was Woody Allen's movies. From the all-out comedies like Bananas or Love and Death to the mature, serious fare like Interiors or September-and everything in between, I found in his filmography something for every mood. For that I will always be grateful for him and his enormous contributions to cinema.
So Sorry for Your Grreat Loss ❤ Sending You a Grreat BIG Bear HUGG ;] Your LOVE for each Other Stays on Forever….I once on a Dull Saturday Night feeling Blue… I came Across the Movie 🎥’LOVE And DEATH’ I Fell off My Coach,Literally Laughing My Head off 😊 Woody Allen is a Comic Genius & An Absolute Treasure of Mine…’Take the Money and Run’ is Hilarious & the Movie ‘Everyone Says I LOVE You’ Woody Allen has Everyone sing from Alan Alda,a New York Cab Driver…Even Julia Robert’s ;] DeLightful…made Me Laugh for a Week Straight.
@@judyannlemay618 Thank you for your kind words, Judy. I'll take that hug! 'Everyone Says I Love You' was the first Woody Allen movie I saw in the theater, or in its entirety for that matter. I knew nothing about it going in-it was my friend's idea to see it that night, but enjoyed it very much. I suppose the movies that really got me hooked and going back to see everything else that he made prior were 'Small Time Crooks' and 'The Sweet Lowdown'. 'Love and Death' and 'Take the Money and Run' are definitely among my favorites as well. 'A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy' is another one that I really love that doesn't seem to get talked about very much. 'Stardust Memories', 'Shadows and Fog', 'Bananas' of course...I could go on! I have many favorite films, of all kinds, but there isn't another writer/director who has made nearly as many movies that I enjoy and treasure the way I do his. In fact, just last night I watched his 'Oedipus Wrecks' segment from 'New York Stories' because I was in the mood for something brief before bed. Take care and keep laughing!
I'm french, I'm 50 and Woody's movies have been a part of my life since my teenage years :) When I saw "Annie Hall" for the first time around 13 (in english with subtitles, late night, on french TV) it completely changed my conception of cinema :) At the same time I also saw many Truffaut's films, and it had the same impact, and then I discovered Fellini, Bergman, etc. etc. Anyway, my father had recorded "Annie Hall" on VHS and I would watch it, again and again :) I still watch it (now in Blu Ray) at least once a year :) It is so perfect !!!! :) I honestly think that especially between 1972 and 1992, Allen's filmography is pure genius, flawless : he is the only american director who released as frequently (year after year) such great films, that he wrote also !!! It it insane when you think of it !!! And there are soooo many excellent works also in the late 90's like the underrated and brilliant "Celebrity", or in the 2000's like "Anything else" (my favorite maybe of that period), "Matchpoint", "Melinda & Melinda", "Blue Jasmine", "Magic in the moonlight", "Café Society", "Whatever Works"... :) When I was young as a french dude living in a small town with not many theaters, I was always frustrated when Woody's movies were released because I knew I would not see them directly in their original language !! I always had to see it first dubbed in french and then wait for a TV channel diffusion in english with subtitles or a VHS with the english language version :) And then came the DVD and the Blu Ray and thanks to that I was able to see the english language versions anytime I wanted to :) What is funny is that it is THE FIRST TIME with "Coup de chance" I could see a Woody's movie that could NOT be dubbed since its language IS french !!! :) Anyway, Woody Allen movies are a part of my memory, my cinéphilie, my heart, the way I see the world, and they have helped me make it through good and bad times (and even some horrible times), and I will love him and his films as long as I live :) Thank you so much for existing monsieur Allen :)
I love that woody isn’t afraid to show up. I trust him because of the way he portrayed himself in the movies. He’s always been sad but optimistic in his films. That’s just who he is. He’s a story teller trying to love this world through telling stories. ❤🎉❤
Thank you Woody. So much enjoyment over so many years. There is not a soul who has done more good work. I'll probably go to my grave thinking about Old Nahamkin...
Great conversation, utter brilliance, on multiple levels, with two veterans of mid-20th century urbanism. Moreover, both by inference and example, Mr. Allen makes an excellent point in re the origins of literary creativity. Clearly, genius -as evidenced by Allen's total œuvre- is neither born nor learned, but is a product of some mysterious, perhaps non-repeatable, combination of the two. And after all these decades, Woody remains an inspiration ...
Enjoyed that conversation quite a bit. It's so rare to see Woody out there talking to anyone, so you know it's going to be with someone he trusts, and someone that will engage in a meaningful, intellegent way. I hope that Julian and Woody find time to chat again on this channel; so much more to talk about.
Hmm, he divorced his wife and married his step-daughter. Not the kind of world treasure I'd be praising. Yes, I did love his comedies but it'll be up to a later generation to decide if the art can be successfully separated from the artist. Until then I'm not much interested in giving him any more of my viewing dollars. Naturally in this era of people supporting a more disgusting America male - even making him President - I can see why people can look past Woody's 'faults'. Even taking Trump out of the picture hundreds of millions of people on this planet still pay their dues to an organization that until very recent history supported men abusing ch****en.
@@donskuse2194 Woody was never married to Mia Farrow. They were in a long-term relationship but they never lived together. And, Soon-Yi was not his daughter and he never adopted her.
Everything is underrated in every comment section everyday these days. Seems impossible right? This channel is so "underrated" that you're watching it with one of the biggest game changers in cinema. It's so underrated that a legitimate icon in the business is conducting an interview with this gentleman on his channel. Boy oh boy. So underrated. Underrated. Underrated. Underrated
Wonderful, completely wonderful. Thank you for this conversation! I know everyone will have their one favorite Allen film, for me its Interiors. Personally, that one hits real deep. Thank you, Woody.
Nice to see Woody at 88 still sharp and as interesting as ever. So much maligned but a creative and comedic genius. A great stand-up comedian, writer, filmmaker, director, actor, and musician. A great contribution to the performing arts. Can't take that away from him.
Imagine being mad that he was ‘maligned’ for marrying his adopted daughter (after grooming her). Nice to see you can get so much enjoyment from a pedophile.
“Zellig” is too good to be true, and holds up decades later. “Stardust Memories” has never been popular but to me it’s a unique masterpiece. “Bullets Over Broadway” is as entertaining as a movie can be. Those are my three faves, anyway.
Would love to hear more about Woodys writing process in depth next time you have him on e.g. His thoughts about dialogue, what he does when he hits a wall in the story, what he does when he's out of ideas for a story and so on. Fantastic interview thanks for posting
Grew up in north St. Louis, though not on the same scale, you guys, and your descriptions of your old neighborhoods brought back memories of a culture that was still hanging on in St. Louis into the sixties. I ended up as a professional actor, and it was those double features, big screen houses that were like Greek temples, where I gestated, and in many ways learned to act. Beautiful memories, guys... thanks so much!!
Never been a big fan of Woody's films but I must say that his latest film "Midnight in Paris" is, to me, a masterpiece. I have watched it, at least, a dozen times and enjoyed it every time.
Thank you so much for making this video. Woody Allen is a treasure and I really appreciate how he only said me. A Farrow was a good actress even though she’s a crazy conniving person he is so so not what the people of Hollywood have made them out to be and deserves so much more but we live in a world of people that don’t pay attention. Thank you for this video.
Watching from the State of Rhode Island-fun and interesting hearing you guys exchange experiences of where and when you came from-& for those of us that appreciate Woody's material-great to hear from him-not to mention-especially since-let's face it-he's along in years at this point-& not gonna be around forever-great discussion-Peace all!
Woody Allen is one of my 2-3 favourite film artists (Kubrick and Lynch being the other two), his output is without equal, with some pretty heavy themes presented in a often lighthearted way, which in no way dilute the material. It will be a sad day when... well, you get it.. Keep making films, Woody. But you need to still love it, and have the energy. You may look down a little upon your own work, but take it from me, one of millions of fans: you are a true artist! And your work will never age badly or get outdated.
The great Chris Rock (IMO the single best standup working today) said it best in the 2011 Woody documentary: "He's been making these amazing movies for like 40 years..who ever did that? Who can be great for 10, 20 years? There really is no one to compare him to." Absolutely true. On the Mt Rushmore of modern comedy.
Allen's film is called "Coup de chance" (stroke of luck) not "coup de grace". Even though chance and grace are synonymous, "coup de chance" and "coup de grâce" are antonyms. Thank you for this interview.
I enjoyed reading fiction novels until junior high and, like Woody, I read just to keep on current events. I've never gone back to long form reading and yet I'd read pretty well every page of a newspaper or news magazine.
He was quite a neurotic character in the movie with Diane Keaton, who played Annie Hall. They worked well together. Woody is old, but his mind is sharp.
I love Woody Allen. I will always support and defend him. I don't think his films ever since Mighty Aphrodite have been very good, but I still love him.
@6:50 It's funny that Woody mentions how telephones in those penthouse sets were always white. In the italian cinema industry of the thirties and forties, the same type of movies that Woody Allen calls "champagne comedies" were known as "telefoni bianchi" ("white telephones" comedies). Actor and neorealist director Vittorio De Sica, of "Bicycle Thieves" fame, started his career as a lead in those kind of movies.
I actually think Woody is a top 5 director, easily, ALL TIME. Did fame kind of corrupt him? (way too many people telling him how great he is and he can never make a bad choice/decision). Of course it did. But his talent , in my opinion overruled it. I feel bad how he's almost an afterthought now, and the fact his movies have kind of been forgotten. It's almost tragic. He probably should have made some different decisions, many years ago. But it is what it is. I do think his very recent stuff, is still quality, still superior. He made some of the greatest movies, ever. You can't take rhat away. Good luck Woody.
You guys a longing for New York,.... It's gone! What you are longing for is a time associated with the city, Manhattan is always changing. I ended up in Manhattan a generation later in the East Village. Coffee at Leskos, breakfast for 45 cents. It was the high point of my life. Today, the hungry artists are gone. I saw a woman pushing a double stroller down avenue C!. Guys dress down in the East Village but on Monday morning, they're wearing suits and going to work at Goldman Sachs.
I would like to see Woody do another film. Clint Eastwood is still at it. Maybe something about politics. My favorite Woody Allen movie is Hannah and Her Sisters. But I like most of his movies that I have seen.
She appears to have been quite abusive to her adopted children, according to Moses Farrow's blog. Recommended reading for anyone who wishes to understand these issues.
I thought I read or heard him say that he admired Strangelove but had some issues with it. I would love to know what they were (assuming I didn’t make this up). In fact, I would love to hear him discuss comedy, stand up and film, in general. I mean, drama, too, but I would love to hear his insights.
He didn't read growing up and still never really enjoys books. Amazing! Woody more than compensated for it by infusing his comedy with literary references and talking like a neurotic, whining, nerdy bookworm in his movies.
As a result of unproven charges, he's reduced to making foreign language films outside of his own country. Meanwhile, Mia, accused by two of her adopted children of abuse, doesn't get stuck with the rap and is currently appearing on Broadway. I think that's called sexism.
Julian, your sentimentality about directors and film that have aged, bearing no resemblance to the current climate, especially amongst younger viewers. Mayer recruited "heros" like John Wayne for pro-American propaganda newsreels, knowing he didn't serve in the US military. I love cinema, from the 20s I p to current projects. You're haunted by ghosts of the past that still influence your world view.
Man, he's really starting to look and sound his age. Getting old sucks. But I love that he's still mentally sharp as a tack. Even if he wasn't canceled, I don't imagine he belongs on a movie set at this stage of his life. Maybe he can spend his final years writing plays or more short stories.
He just released his 50th film earlier this year (his first film in the French language), and according to reports that I've read, he hopes to make at least one more movie.
God I wish Woody was Jewish! Heywood Allen is his LEGAL names, so he's obviously from an old WASP family. I just wish we had more Jews in show business instead of sports...
My girlfriend passed away in 2014 at the age of 25 and the single greatest comfort that got me through the immense grieving process was Woody Allen's movies. From the all-out comedies like Bananas or Love and Death to the mature, serious fare like Interiors or September-and everything in between, I found in his filmography something for every mood. For that I will always be grateful for him and his enormous contributions to cinema.

I agree.

Came across this accidently on RUclips. So much fun to watch. Very brisk interview by Mr. Schlossberg covering so many interesting topics.

Dang! Miss his "movie a year" (in the theater) event! Especially when they were released in the fall. So fortunate to have 50+ titles to go back to.
Thank you ever so much for this delicious conversation.

Crimes and Misdemeanor's is the one that blew me away, still does , thank goodness for TCM, uncut and commercial free
So wonderful hearing Woody again. One of the great moviemakers.

You can’t take him being a pedo away from him, either. No matter how much people like you try. Disgusting.
Wonderful interview! I'm a massive admirer of Woody's movies, and as I'll probably never get to speak to the man myself I enjoy interviews like this.
Greatest comedy writer ever.
amazing talk!!! Woody is a real inspiration
One of the best and smartest directors of our time. Love Woody.
Woody's still Woody! I thought he'd be all old and slow at this point.
He is.
Not seeing this at first and only listening to it, i thought Woody sounds pretty old.
Love Woody's movies. My first one was Hannah in 86, in which I adore, and have enjoyed all of his work.
“Zellig” is too good to be true, and holds up decades later. “Stardust Memories” has never been popular but to me it’s a unique masterpiece. “Bullets Over Broadway” is as entertaining as a movie can be. Those are my three faves, anyway.
What do you think of _Another Woman_ ? I think it’s very good but seems to be largely overlooked, almost forgotten actually.
*THOROUGHLY ENJOYED* . *ABSOLUTELY INTERESTING* .

One of the all-time great directors.
Julian. What a fantastic interview. I got to know Woody Allen so much more just from this than from all his films. Well done and perhaps do part deux.
An interviewer that asks concise questions and actually listens to the answers, how novel.
So nice to see present day Woody - love him. No one has a catalogue of as many great films as extensive as he does. So many gems.

Thanks! Nice to see Woody
Manhattan was so durn gooood. :)
Allen's film is called "Coup de chance" (stroke of luck) not "coup de grace". Even though chance and grace are synonymous, "coup de chance" and "coup de grâce" are antonyms. Thank you for this interview.
Woody is a great original actor and director but especially a compelling writer in various media.
I enjoyed reading fiction novels until junior high and, like Woody, I read just to keep on current events. I've never gone back to long form reading and yet I'd read pretty well every page of a newspaper or news magazine.
My Top 5: Stardust Memories, Annie Hall, Interiors, Hannah and Her Sisters, and Husbands and Wives.
He was quite a neurotic character in the movie with Diane Keaton, who played Annie Hall. They worked well together. Woody is old, but his mind is sharp.
It's called acting!
Movie Palaces... RKO in Flushing. Great conversation.
That was great.
Such a wonderful man. 👍🏻
For a man who doesn't read, Woody has a lot of books.
Ha! He’s auto-self-deprecating. The man reads.
My favorite American director.
I love Woody Allen. I will always support and defend him. I don't think his films ever since Mighty Aphrodite have been very good, but I still love him.
What other pedophiles do you support? What;s it like to be so casual about grooming and marrying your own daughter?

You guys a longing for New York,.... It's gone! What you are longing for is a time associated with the city, Manhattan is always changing.

Okay, I give. What is the host referring to when he says,” they don’t know what a lime is.” What is he referring to?
Hollywood didnt deserve woody
Wow! Can I ask you how you managed to get Woody Allen to do an interview with you?
I believe Woody is innocent. If he is, then Mia is the monster.
She is a psycho. 3 of her kids committed suicide
She appears to have been quite abusive to her adopted children, according to Moses Farrow's blog. Recommended reading for anyone who wishes to understand these issues.
Read what Moses Farrow has to say about growing up with " saint Mia " as a mother. Mia has 3 dead children, that's right, 3 dead children !
Two old Jews reminiscing. Terrific!
🌃🧡Woody Allen🧡🌠
I'm not familiar with the host but does anyone else think he sounds like Carl Reiner?
Such a shame woke america cancelled Woody for no reason
Does he mention Mort Sahl?
First-rate! Do a follow-up! 🙂
Get regular with Relax. Start every day the Relax way. Your system will feel so great you'll want to Relax on top of the Empire State.
Speaking is a form of imagination
This means woody could easily appear on the Adam Friedland show
Wishing Woody many, many more years of good health.
Woody, do you have a favorite Stanley Kubrick film?
I thought I read or heard him say that he admired Strangelove but had some issues with it. I would love to know what they were (assuming I didn’t make this up). In fact, I would love to hear him discuss comedy, stand up and film, in general. I mean, drama, too, but I would love to hear his insights.
Is it Kayfabe that he writes things without struggle ? Like no writers block
Well.. It's not all good. He never stops though.
He didn't read growing up and still never really enjoys books. Amazing! Woody more than compensated for it by infusing his comedy with literary references and talking like a neurotic, whining, nerdy bookworm in his movies.
As a result of unproven charges, he's reduced to making foreign language films outside of his own country. Meanwhile, Mia, accused by two of her adopted children of abuse, doesn't get stuck with the rap and is currently appearing on Broadway. I think that's called sexism.
He's in his library but he doesn't like to read
He married his step daughter..
28:20 $40 then worth $475 in 2024
Julian, your sentimentality about directors and film that have aged, bearing no resemblance to the current climate, especially amongst younger viewers.
Mayer recruited "heros" like John Wayne for pro-American propaganda newsreels, knowing he didn't serve in the US military.
I love cinema, from the 20s I p to current projects. You're haunted by ghosts of the past that still influence your world view.
This guy is a filmmaker, and yet he frames himself in the worst shot with the worst lighting!
Lot of time talking about the same thing
Man, he's really starting to look and sound his age. Getting old sucks. But I love that he's still mentally sharp as a tack. Even if he wasn't canceled, I don't imagine he belongs on a movie set at this stage of his life. Maybe he can spend his final years writing plays or more short stories.
Growing old sucks, but what’s the alternative?
I've rarely seen a 90 year old this sharp and articulated
@@RanjanDuttaRoy Exactly. It's honestly quite shocking to see. He's still more coherent than the vast majority of people.
He just released his 50th film earlier this year (his first film in the French language), and according to reports that I've read, he hopes to make at least one more movie.
@@christianman73 Technically it's his 51st film, but Woody doesn't count "Tiger Lily." But I'd love to see one more film from him!
Woody is not funny at all!
God I wish Woody was Jewish! Heywood Allen is his LEGAL names, so he's obviously from an old WASP family. I just wish we had more Jews in show business instead of sports...
??? Oh come now???
