  • False Authenticity in the Films of Woody Allen
    False Authenticity in the Films of Woody Allen by Nicholas Vick November, 2012 Director of Thesis: Amanda Klein Major Department: English Woody Allen is an auteur who is deeply concerned with the visual presentation of his cityscapes. However, each city that Allen films is presented in such a glamorous light that the depiction of the cities is falsely authentic. That is, Allen's cityscapes are actually unrealistic recreations based on his nostalgia or stilted view of the city's culture. Allen's treatment of each city is similar to each other in that he strives to create a cinematic postcard for the viewer. However, differing themes and characteristics emerge to define Allen's optimistic visual approach. Allen's hometown of Manhattan is a place where artists, intellectuals, and writers can thrive. Paris denotes a sense of nostalgia and questions the power behind it. Allen's London is primarily concerned with class and the social imperative. Finally, Barcelona is a haven for physicality, bravado, and sex but also uncertainty for American travelers. Despite being in these picturesque and dynamic locations, happiness is rarely achieved for Allen's characters. So, regardless of Allen's dreamy and romanticized visual treatment of cityscapes and culture, Allen is a director who operates in a continuous state of contradiction because of the emotional unrest his characters suffer.

  • Vicky Cristina Barcelona
    WWW.INDEPENDENT.COM Vicky Cristina Barcelona Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, and Javier Bardem star in a film written and directed by Woody Allen. By Josef Woodard Thursday, August 21, 2008 Once past the traditional retirement age, Woody Allen finally started getting out of town. Out of New York, that is. After stubbornly basing most of his filmography within several miles of his home address, the Manhattanite, now 72, has within four years made three films in England (the excellent Match Point and the not-so-excellent Scoop and Cassandra’s Dream). With the ripe and mostly enjoyable romantic jigsaw comedy Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Allen has even ventured into the land of a foreign tongue, SpainԜ—Ԝa summer romp in Barcelona, to be exact. And like a good tourist, he makes sure to soak up the ambience. He layers in plenty of Spanish music (departing once again from his former obsession with the Great American Songbook) and allows the camera to lavish its attentions on Gaudí architecture and, of course, the various human architectural splendors of Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson). In the complex math of the script’s romantic and existential plotting, the women are Americans summering in Barcelona and potentially in love or lust with a bohemian painter (Javier Bardem), whose plot is thickened by his heated and unresolvable relationship with his fiery ex-wife (Penelope Cruz). As he has before, Allen relies on the device of an omniscient narrator, the Greek chorus effect, to move the story along and give it an air of a saga retold in objective retrospect.

Also on reserve are the following books: 1. Peter Bailey, The Reluctant Film Art of Woody Allen. University of Kentucky Press, 2001. 2. Peter Bailey & Sam Girgus, eds., A Companion to Woody Allen, Wiley-Blackwell, 2013. 3. Sam Girgus, The Films of Woody Allen, Cambridge University Press, 1993. 4. Eric Lax, Conversations with Woody Allen: His Films, The Movies, and Moviemaking. Alfred A. Knopf, 2009. 5. Charles L. P. Silet, ed., The Films of Woody Allen: Critical Essays, Scarescrow Press, 2006. Plan: Woody Allen began his career as a gag writer; moved to doing stand-up comedy; then began writing film scripts, short fiction and plays. His first work as a director came in 1966, with What’s Up, Tiger Lily? His next efforts in directing—including Take the Money and Run (1969), Bananas (1971), Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex (1972), Sleeper (1973) and Love and Death (1975)—carried forward his work as a comedian in the tradition of Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx. In 1977 came Annie Hall, a film that Graham McCann has spoken of as “a watershed,” for the reason that with this film Allen introduces an intellectual, emotional and narrative complexity that had shown itself less crucial in his earlier films, with the possible exception of Play It Again, Sam, a Harold Ross directed film based upon Allen’s Broadway play of the same name, and starring Allen, Tony Roberts and Diane Keaton, the three of whom would be reunited in Annie Hall.

Frédérique Brisset 1 Woody Allen does not belong to the Hollywood studio system, and his success relies much more on European than American markets. This involves a great deal of attention focused on strategies that facilitate positive reception of his films by foreign audiences, among them the French, and choosing his titles for export has become a major step in the process. Among his latest films, Cassandra's Dream (2007) made less than $1m in the US, but more than $21m abroad, including $3.5m in France.1 For a mere $5m in the US, Whatever Works (2009) grossed almost $30m overseas, $7m of which in France. And the domestic-international ratio for You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010) stands at one to ten –$3m in the US, $31m abroad, with $7.4 m in France.
