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 ...
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.
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.
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
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.
“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.
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.
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
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
Susan Sarrandon and Judd Apatow and Elliott page And Drew Barrymore and other members of the let's bring back the blacklist are not going to be happy with this
I call Judd Apatow, the "Killer of Comedy" - his snark "humor", and painful 2.5 hr running times sent comedy the wrong way, and it has since not recovered. The nerve he has to play the virtue card at WA expense for unfounded beliefs. A-hole.
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.
Me too his filmography is timeless god give you strength

Oh what a fabulous conversation... with the greatest cinema author ever. It brought me such joy. Deep thanks.
I love you Woody Allen, you are the greatest man to have ever made any movies
I agree.

Fantastic interview. It's always a huge pleasure to hear Woody Allen talk about anything. It was a great watch.

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

Came across this accidently on UA-cam. So much fun to watch. Very brisk interview by Mr. Schlossberg covering so many interesting topics.
So wonderful hearing Woody again. One of the great moviemakers.
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.
Woody Allen is a world treasure
Hmm, he divorced his wife and married his step-daughter. Not the kind of world treasure I'd be praising.

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.
One of the best and smartest directors of our time. Love Woody.

Your response is destined to be underrated.
Love Woody's movies. My first one was Hannah in 86, in which I adore, and have enjoyed all of his work.
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.
*THOROUGHLY ENJOYED* . *ABSOLUTELY INTERESTING* .
*FANTASTIC*
So wonderful to see Woody and hear his thoughts on his life and career. He is an American treasure and one of a kind! ❤
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.
His latest is Coup de Chance. Midnight came out in 2011. But yea, an amazing film.
Woody, a true genius. Thanks Woody.
amazing talk!!! Woody is a real inspiration
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.
“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.
Great Interview, really informative and interesting ;)
One of the all-time greats in the world of cinema. The best of WA’s films are timeless and infinitely re-watchable.
Greatest comedy writer ever.

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.
Thank you for doing this, both of you
Woody Allen is for me a comedy icon genius such a funny man love his films and his music!!
Wonderful!

Great to see Woody again!
An interviewer that asks concise questions and actually listens to the answers, how novel.
New Woody interview, yay!!
I play the clarinet too! You play beautifully! Thank you for all of your films.. I learned so much about dialogue and tension!
Thanks! Nice to see Woody
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.
Woody is a great original actor and director but especially a compelling writer in various media.
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.
That was great.
Manhattan was so durn gooood. :)
Movie Palaces... RKO in Flushing. Great conversation.
My Top 5: Stardust Memories, Annie Hall, Interiors, Hannah and Her Sisters, and Husbands and Wives.
For a man who doesn't read, Woody has a lot of books.
Ha! He’s auto-self-deprecating. The man reads.
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!
My favorite American director.
Such a wonderful man. 👍🏻
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?
@@DABA2024 Good lord, use the internet to learn something. 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you for sharing. Lovely to see Woody
C'mon
I saw the Three Stooges live at The Allerton on Allerton Ave in the Bronx...
Mr. Schlossberg, you sound like Ed Wynn!
Good catch! He really does.
Genius
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 !

🌃🧡Woody Allen🧡🌠
Such a shame woke america cancelled Woody for no reason
Wow! Can I ask you how you managed to get Woody Allen to do an interview with you?
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?
I'm not familiar with the host but does anyone else think he sounds like Carl Reiner?
Wishing Woody many, many more years of good health.
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.
Does he mention Mort Sahl?
Speaking is a form of imagination
This means woody could easily appear on the Adam Friedland show
First-rate! Do a follow-up! 🙂
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.
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.
He's in his library but he doesn't like to read
Is it Kayfabe that he writes things without struggle ? Like no writers block
Well.. It's not all good. He never stops though.
He married his step daughter..
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.
28:20 $40 then worth $475 in 2024
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
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.
Woody is not funny at all!
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!
Susan Sarrandon and Judd Apatow and Elliott page And Drew Barrymore and other members of the let's bring back the blacklist are not going to be happy with this
I call Judd Apatow, the "Killer of Comedy" - his snark "humor", and painful 2.5 hr running times sent comedy the wrong way, and it has since not recovered. The nerve he has to play the virtue card at WA expense for unfounded beliefs. A-hole.
