“I am completely in favor of comedians making any jokes they want,” Allen said at the premiere gala. He insisted he wasn’t offended by the joke. But more broadly, Lafitte’s remarks brought to mind accusations Allen has vehemently denied and been battling in the court of public opinion for many years: that the multiple Oscar winner sexually molested his daughter Dylan Farrow when she was 7-years-old.Īllen has never been convicted of any such charges and has denied the allegations consistently. It was an oblique reference to director Roman Polanski’s legal limbo on a 1977 rape charge.
“It’s very nice that you’ve been shooting so many movies in Europe, even if you are not being convicted for rape in the U.S.,” the French comedian said. On Wednesday’s glitzy opening-night ceremony for the 69th installment of France’s most venerable film fest, things got off to a rocky start when Cannes master of ceremonies Laurent Lafitte aimed an off-color joke at Allen that drew audible gasps from the audience.

This movie is just another love letter with the city he loves (and a thoughtful P.S you're OK too California), and makes Woody feel like such a helpless romantic, but that's what makes the movie so good to watch.Instead, events surrounding the ceremonial kick-off turned into a Fellini-esque public down-dressing, a media circus - with correspondents from The Hollywood Reporter barred from a publicity luncheon for being “harmful” - and, almost by default, a referendum on a too-deferential press corps that failed to question Allen about decades-old sexual assault allegations concerning the writer-director’s daughter. It'a funny film with laugh out loud moments, and very crafty narrative narrated by Allen himself. If you like one you like them all (but I'm more partial to the ones he does not star in, like this one), and it's super impressive he does one of these on annual basis and he's able keep the quality constant. It's a good Woody Allen comedy,but They are all good to me. Corey Stoll's character Ben, a though Jew who becomes a night club owner, whole involvement in the film taste like Scorsese light, which only made it even that more interesting.
It did get some getting use to, before it became his own thing. And the jazz numbers that lace this flick did just that for setting that beautiful tone Jesse Eisenberg started off a little too much Woody Allen at first (one particular scene in the beginning that acts like a hilarious sketch routine, where Jesse's character Bobby buys a hooker). A knock out combination of lights setting and music to bring out the mood. I can't get over how beautiful this thing was shot. The cinematography on this one did a great job of capturing the feel of 1930s California and New York city. I myself am a sucker for a movie that gives a take on old school Hollywood and Woody Allen did a beautiful job with Cafe Society.
