Sweet and Lowdown“
Bemerkungen zu „Sweet and Lowdown“ Erscheinungsjahr: 2002 Regisseur: Woody Allen Darsteller: Sean Penn, Samantha Morton, Uma Thurman, Antony LaPaglia Filmplakat zu „ Sweet and Lowdown“ Handlung:(Quelle: Spiegel, Arthaus Collection) „In einer fiktiven Künstlerbiografie lässt Woody Allen die goldene Jazz- und Swing- Ära aufleben und verbeugt sich vor dem legendären Gitarristen Django Reinhardt. Sean Penn und Samantha Morton wurden für ihre Darstellungen für den Oscar, den Golden Globe und die Empire Awards nominiert. Django Reinhardt (Gitarre) während eines Auftritts In den 30er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts gilt er nach Django Reinhardt als "der zweitbeste Gitarrist der Welt": Der Jazzmusiker Emmet Ray (Sean Penn), der sich mit Engagements in Nachtclubs über Wasser hält und seine Gagen ab und zu als Teilzeit-Zuhälter aufbessert. Sean Penn als Gitarrist Emmet Ray Der Legende nach ist er zweimal seinem Erzrivalen und heimlichen Gott Django Reinhardt begegnet - und jedes Mal in Ohnmacht gefallen. Neben der Musik interessieren ihn vor allem schnelle Autos, modische Kleidung und schöne Frauen. Alkoholexzesse, Spielschulden und Poolbillard prägen sein Leben. Doch wenn Emmet abends auf der Bühne zur Gitarre greift, sichert er sich jedes Mal von neuem einen Platz im Jazz-Olymp - wenn er es schafft, einigermaßen nüchtern und pünktlich zu erscheinen. Emmet Ray mit Band Als er die stumme Wäscherin Hattie (Samantha Morton) kennenlernt, scheint sein unstetes Leben für eine Weile zur Ruhe zu kommen. Doch Emmet ist viel zu sehr Egozentriker und selbstverliebter Künstler, als dass er sich ändern könnte. Emmet Ray mit Hattie Er verlässt Hattie und heiratet wenig später überraschend die glamouröse Blanche (Uma Thurman), eine halbseidene Möchtegern-Schriftstellerin.

United States District Court Southern District of New York
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK GRAVIER PRODUCTIONS, INC., and Case No. __________ WOODY ALLEN, Plaintiffs, COMPLAINT – against – AMAZON CONTENT SERVICES, LLC, and AMAZON STUDIOS, LLC, Defendants. Plaintiffs Gravier Productions, Inc. (“Gravier”) and Woody Allen (together with Gravier, “Plaintiffs”), by and through their attorneys, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, bring this Complaint against Defendants Amazon Content Services, LLC (“Amazon Content”) and Amazon Studios, LLC (“Amazon Studios” and, together with Amazon Content, “Amazon”), and allege as follows: NATURE OF THE CASE 1. Woody Allen is one of the most critically acclaimed, iconic, and successful filmmakers in the history of motion pictures. Mr. Allen has made more than 50 films, earning honors and accolades around the world and generating substantial international box office receipts. Mr. Allen’s combination of criticalDeadline and commercial success as a writer and director for over five decades is unparalleled in the film industry. Seeking to capitalize on Mr. Allen’s international stature, talent, and track record, Amazon—a technology giant but Hollywood novice—sought to develop its nascent entertainment studio by entering into a series of deals with Mr. Allen and his company, Gravier, promising to finance and distribute his future films and to be his “home” for the rest of his career. 2. In June 2018, however, Amazon backed out of the deals, purporting to terminate them without any legal basis for doing so, while knowing that its actions would cause substantial damage to Mr. Allen, Gravier, investors and the artists and crew involved in making the films. Amazon has tried to excuse its action by referencing a 25-year old, baseless allegation against Mr.

Being a Non-Entity with Soon-Yi Previn Carl Hugmeyer Sometimes I realize that I’m not really putting myself out there. Being pleasant and considerate towards those around you is important, but part of me still thinks there should be something else going on. I find it hard to track down my contributions, my expressions, my statements. Partially read New Yorkers pile up and Netflix still recommends more documentaries than sitcoms. There is kale in the refrigerator, yes, and a $23 bottle of wine. Great. But is this supposed to be a model of beautiful living, to show to those who scream at their children, slapping them and then tugging at their arms as they wait for the tank to fill up at the gas station? To those who throw their Burger King wrappers out of the car window? It is dust accumulating, nothing, a mouse in the walls of the world that no one really sees or cares about except when it gets audibly worked up or so thoroughly stuck that a smell begins to emanate.

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: Fotos Y Pasión En La Ciudad Condal
VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA: FOTOS Y PASIÓN EN LA CIUDAD CONDAL Por ALBERT ELDUQUE Título original: Vicky Cristina Barcelona Producción: Mediapro (USA-España, 2008). Productores: Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum, Gareth Wiley y Jaume Roures. Director: Woody Allen. Guión: Woody Allen. Fotografía: Javier Aguirresarobe. Diseño de producción: Alain Bainée. Montaje: Alisa Lepselter. Intérpretes: Rebecca Hall (Vicky), Scarlett Johansson (Cristina), Javier Bardem (Juan Antonio), Penélope Cruz (María Elena), Chris Messina (Doug) Color - 96 minutos - Estreno en España: 19-IX-2008. Galardonado con un Oscar de la Academia de Hollywood recientemente y gozando de una gran popularidad, la situación actual de Javier Bardem es interesante. Entre las producciones estadounidenses y las españolas, entre No Country For Old Men y Mar Adentro, últimamente trabaja precisamente en los híbridos entre lo internacional y las raíces, participando en producciones de directores extranjeros en España, ya sean Los fantasmas de Goya, de Milos Forman, o Biutiful, el proyecto de Alejandro González Iñárritu situado en el Raval barcelonés. Obviamente, la última película de Woody Allen, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, se inscribe en esta línea de conjunción internacional, y lo hace también con Penélope Cruz, otra actriz situada entre los proyectos americanos y las películas españolas. Cabe preguntarse por qué en una película dedicada desde el título a Barcelona los dos únicos personajes españoles relevantes son estrellas internacionales, y por qué los actores locales que han participado en el filme han sido apartados hacia roles muy secundarios (Josep Maria Domènech, como el padre del personaje de Bardem) o directamente anecdóticos (Abel Folk, Lloll Bertran, etc.). Hay en Vicky Cristina Barcelona un encuentro cultural en el equipo técnico que no se llega a plasmar en el reparto, basado en intérpretes anglosajones o estrellas latinas ya consolidadas.

Small Time Crooks
Small Time Crooks Let satire Af Jes Nysten Dette er den 31. film fra Woody Allens (h)ånd, og det er absolut en af de lettere af slagsen. Ikke dermed sagt at han har mistet sit engagement eller sin bidende ironiske demaskering af menneskelig dårskab, men i denne film anlægger han en legende let og munter stil, for han vil blot fortælle en sjov historie - en sofistikeret Olsenbande historie. Allen spiller en selvbevidst, men talentløs småforbryder Ray (kaldet "Hjernen"!), der som salig Egon altid har en god plan, men som – på grund af manglende evner og talentløse hjælpere – aldrig får den gennemført. Nu er han imidlertid så heldig, at hans kone Frenchy, en tidligere stripper, har langt mere greb om tingene; hun skaffer pludselig mange penge til huse ved at fremstille småkager, der er så populære, at det efterhånden bliver en helt industri. Stilen lægges om, og den noget vulgære frue vil gerne blive en fin dame og mænge sig med de fine. Som en anden Mr. Higgens 'ansætter' hun den sleske og meget engelske kunsthandler David til at lede sig ind i denne glamourøse verden. Men det går jo ikke, hun lærer det ikke – og heldigvis går hun da også konkurs, så hun kan vende hjem til manden og sin rette sociale plads - dog med en gevinst i lommen, så de to sammen kan få lidt sjov ind i livet! Endnu engang bliver der hos Allen langet kraftigt ud efter det bedre borgerskab og dets fimsede overfladiske liv – til tider lidt for grovkornet parodisk – men der er som altid hos Allen fine skuespilpræstationer: Allen selv er meget veloplagt som Ray, Hugh Grant leger sig igennem rollen som den gennem ubehagelige men charmerende David, men alle bliver overskygget af Tracey Ullman, der er en helt vidunderlig livfuld Frenchy.
