At 83, he is one of America's most prolific directors. For over 60 years now, Woody Allen has released nearly one film a year, including several masterpieces. His latest feature, "A Rainy Day in New York", is opening the Deauville American Film Festival in the French resort this Friday. He sat down with FRANCE 24's Vincent Roux.

I'm biased. I grew up with a mom who I loved deeply, but who started going crazy when I was 10. During the divorce she wildly accused my father of molesting me.
The details brought to me by law enforcement during an interview were so compelling and serious -- including heartbreaking stuff I supposedly told her -- that I felt I would condemn my mom to deny them. Not being a huge fan of my dad (for other reasons), I almost went along with her lies, for her sake. Almost.
After the interview was over I broke down, feeling unforgivable for telling the truth(!): that my mom makes stuff up when she gets really mad.
Criminal behavior should definitely be prosecuted and tried, and it sucks that a lot of weirdos escape justice even when due process is applied; but PUBLICLY treating every unprovable allegation as fact, and PUBLICLY condemning people based on them, is destructive. If my mom's allegations were all over the news, there is no way I would have been strong enough to tell the truth. I may have even believed her lies to get my conscience off the hook.
Weird. I never told a soul about this. Sorry if my story offends any real victims of abuse. I certainly don't want to do that. Just adding my experience for consideration. My mother has biased me toward non-judgement on ugly personal matters that we really know nothing about.
Thank you for sharing this. Very brave.
I don't believe rumours, just legal convictions.
In my buddy’s divorce, his wife had the children tell lies in the court, which they did. It was very bad for my friend.
@@thomaspick4123 False allegations of abuse during divorce is a problem more common than how we can think
@@glenbellefonte9620 I don't agree. Simply they fell in trap created by feminist groups where they were said they had only rights towards family, society and children. So many women started to believe they could do every thing they thought it was their own right. But only because they were brainwashed by a little bunch of feminazis.
We love Woody Allen and his films. Period.
I’ve watched Rainy Day in New York several times. It’s especially endearing to me for the theme of the rain and the loner brooder poet set in New York City. All characters were amazing. The cocktail piano playing all those romantic songs of the past. I get chills thinking about it. Lovely film. Chalumet was wonderful when he sang. Selena Gomez was a perfect match to Chalumet’s character. A look inside some of the beautiful homes and their history , how Woody weaved the theme into every scene. I consider it one of his best and feel it somewhat defines him personally. Bravo Woody ❤
Woody Allen is my all time favourite film maker. He is simply a genius. Love love love him!!!
Esperando siempre sus películas!
He's a scumbag who got with his step daughter. He's a freak.
Mine too . A proper GENIUS, with old school work ethic , and zero pretentiousness. Last of a dying breed
@@McFaddenWasRight, you do sound angry..
@@McFaddenWasRight he may be a freak. I don't know what to believe about his personal life and the allegations. But the fact remains, he is a genius and creates great things that I enjoy watching.
It's PREPOSTEROUS that he was exonerated and never found guilty, yet his movies are not being shown in the US over unfounded allegations! WHAT A JOKE, AMERICA.
America is a joke. They have the sleaziest president of all time as their leader and they have the audacity to make complaints about Woody..What a Joke...
@kimmie6209 Read the custody trial report sub 'Findings of Fact', unchallenged by Mia Farrow.
Soon-Yi was 20 when Mia stimulated her to take up activities with Woody Allen, such as going to basketball games together. One year later, when Soon-Yi was 21, did Woody and she fall in love.
Up until then, Woody had had NO personal contact with Soon-Yi. He was totally uninterested in the children Mia shared with her ex-husband, André Previn, the only father figure Soon-Yi ever had.
Now I wonder why you presented your TOTAL FANTASY about 'messing with her while she was still a teenager' as if it were fact. It seems you are not an objective judge, but you WANT Woody to be guilty of some heinous crime. If necessary, you are prepared to BEND the 'facts'.
This outrage culture has to stop
could not agree more
Because the public don’t care about the truth. They care about the narrative. And sadly Woody’s “scandal” fits it perfectly.
After the film "Melinda and Melinda", the banks who finance his films came to him and talked about the financing on his next film. The bankers told him they did not only want to be just financiers, but also would like to take part, give advice and suggestions on his next film. They would make approvals for script, actors, as well as working on production for the duration of the production, before they would consider finance.
Woody realized at this point, diplomacy was needed and tried to explain to them:
(1) He swore he would never do something like that ever again, after "What's new pussycat."
(2) He would never think of advising them on how and what to invest in (unless it was one of his films) because he simply could not get involved in that, because he virtually has no idea about it.
(3) What they were suggesting would be like, someone would claim to be an expert on French because he saw 10 french films with English subtitles.
(4) When financiers insist on doing something like this, the film itself, in the vast majority of cases turns out to be a box office flop.
After much more discussion, he called their bluff. He had a showdown. He finally concluded with, "So let's get a move on. Let's get going. Give me the money, in a brown paper bag and I'll turn over a film to you, for you to market however you see fit." And they told him, in a not so polite way "No."
Then a little while later, out of the blue, he got a call from England telling him his next film would be fully financed and he himself would have full control over the production of the film with absolutely no interference from them or anyone else for that matter, with only one condition -it would be filmed in London. He readily agreed.
He said everything went great with production. He never had a bad day. Nothing went went wrong. "Match Point" was the film.
I think he wrote great parts for women, Hollywood gives them 1 dimension most of the time. Blue Jasmine was one of the best parts written for a woman. The list goes on, Interiors is often an overlooked gem as well.
"Another Woman", with the spectacular Gena Rowlands as a philosophy professor in the middle of an existential crisis. A masterpiece.
@@vincenzopoliti6949
Yes!
Woody Allen's Scripts have been nominated more then 10 times for Academy Awards during his career which is a Tremendous Amount of nominations. In the last 40 years his scripts have been nominated more then any other writer who writes screenplays.
Well said. He's up there with Rohmer.
many of his films are entertaining. i saw anne Hall when i was 18 and was deeply impressed
Deconstructing Harry. That movie is a masterpiece. Match point. Rainy Day in New York is a good movie!
Woody is loved here in Europe. If America doesn’t need him anymore, we will take him and spoil him.
Okidoke. Now that we know that Europe is the place for pedophiles we will gladly send everyone we got. Thanks you guys!

1. I just saw Rainy Day. We all really enjoyed it. Too many critics seem to be trying to be politically correct in their negative reviews. Disgusting.
2. Read what the other son, Moses Farrow, says in support of Woody. Those who choose to Ignore him and are just biased creeps rushing to condemn out of sanctimonious self righteousness.
Thanks for putting it so succinctly!

09:58 "Real life is fine for people who can't do any better." So true :)
Reality is for people who can't handle drugs.
I thought Rainy Day in New York was pure Magic, simplicity, clear and intriguing.
A simple plot yet interesting, there is indeed something special about Central Park even when it rains.
A great director and this came through in the movie.
This is my favourite movie this year,it is a pity viewers in USA won’t see it.
I’m American and I found it on my streaming services!!!
Reminds me of Sleepless in Seattle.
Woodie's last movie is not released in USA while Hitler's "Mien Kampf" is available at libraries. Something is wrong.
Yes. Woody Allen's much funnier.
@El Jay when you start an affair and then marry your partners adopted daughter, isn't that prove enough?
What’s ven funnier is that in the USA they bleep every time they say a curse word on tv and then right next kids can watch Rambo or any other movie where blood spills out of the screen... it’s beyond me!
It's called double standards, only in the US
@El Jay Well, maybe that he married his former partners adopted daughter, whom he also raised. A girl was just an adult when he had naked photographs of her in his appartment. Whom he isolated from the family she grew up with. A girl young enough to be his granddaughter. Need I say more....?
Woody, loved your film. great dialogue, acting, and the music.....fantastic. thanks so much! Said this elsewhere but again, my take away line:
"Real life is fine for people who can't do any better."
I hope Woody continues to create and I hope we have many films to come. The censors will lose in the end. Art always wins.
yeah, the art of pedophilia
His work changed my life for all my life. He introduced me to Slyvia Plath in Annie Hall and Dostoevsky in Husbands and Wives. There is such depth to his characters, such relatable human pain and loneliness yet hope...I have September playing in the background now.
He also introduced Tolstoy in Hannah and her sisters. Hope you have watched and enjoyed it as much as I did.
Ok. But, if you will recall, he essentially dissed Sylvia Plath. But you ignored that diss. Smart decision on your part.
And yet he learned nothing from those great writers. He's a monster.
@@kermitfrog593 How would you know? You were in an abusive relationship with a narcissistic pig for decades.
@@kermitfrog593 if you looked at the evidence you would know he is innocent but you are just like the media the facts don't matter to you. You just want to vilify him because that's what the masses who can't read the publicly available evidence that proves his innocence, or am I being mean and people like you just can't read in general. Get your facts right and let the true fans enjoy his art.
Mr Allen is a national treasure
Humanity* treasure.
International treasure.
Woody is a genius and I still hope to see this film one day in America it looks great.

why the rabid defense? there's other movies, move on.
@BLUE DOG gross.
All these people talking crap about the lies against Woody Allen, I’d like to go into their personal lives and see the most screwed up thing they’ve ever done. All of these morons act like they are all saints! We’re just trying to enjoy his art here
100 years from now, if the world is still here, people will marvel at the body of work Woody has created..by contrast, those who would define what "should and should not" be seen or produced will be long forgotten. In the end, great art always triumphs.
I sure hope so. The pc movement and the seemingly endless of followers of it and those who obviously have succumbed to it seems to be the trend especially with the enthusiasm free group thinking youth. I can only hope you're right.
By the comments section, I am so glad to see that people still revere art and don’t let stupid political movements influence the reality: Woody Allen is a maverick who has built so many careers and he doesn’t deserve the shit that Mia Farrow caused
It's not the "product" we enjoy, it's you :) Other people can make other great things, but only Woody Allen can make Woody Allen movies.
Radio Days.... my favorite Woody Allen film.
Underrated. It’s one of his best directed films.
Roger Hornaday Alfie!!!
His films are so delightful and lively.
@me myself Pedophilia is rife among high ranking officials. They would like to have it normalised.
This makes it dreadfully hard to get convictions.
I didn't know about the Boy Scouts. That's a pedos dream. Sick, twisted a-holes!!
@me myself wagner was a antisemitic, whife stealing, backstabbing, living piece of satan. Yet his music opens my mind and touches my soul and a longing in me so deep and indescribable. Am I a bad person for making my life richer with his music?
@@troll7589 no not bad person . hedonistic .. yes . if my life is better ,, than thats what counts ? idk .
Loved “Cafe Society” one of his more recent movies. I would go see any of his movies given an opportunity. I see a beautiful person here and will always respect him.
That film and Wonder Wheel were both excellent!!!
I didn't care for Cafe Society. I guess Jesse Eisenberg was a stand-in for Woody this time, but I thought he was miscast. His relationships in the film are totally unrealistic. In recent years Allen churns out stylized romcoms with little substance. They are all equally bland. IMO his run of great films ended with Sweet and Lowdown, although Vicky Cristina Barcelona was a refreshing exception. I guess these days you go see a Woody Allen films because he's Woody Allen; Like going to a Bob Dylan concert in 2019.. its not about the performance anymore.
What does it feel like to have no conscience? I've always wondered.
Self righteous and fos, nothing better to do do than insult people. I don’t care what you think either.

@Theresa L. Dowling No, Theresa. But you are calling yourself stupid.
He's a genius he and Scorsese are the last great American filmmakers. Every film he does is a small masterpiece and I hope after Rifkin’s Festival releases he does his 50th film and much more because they are all I look forward to every year
His films, beneath the glossy cinematography and high brow dialogue, are simply wet dreams about an old guy banging hot girls.
🤢🤮
@@kermitfrog593 common, by now you must understand people will always be jealous of wealth and fame.
Miss his movies so much!! A new one each year, I mean 😢
I'm glad he's out there and has made 49 movies, and some are small masterpieces. But certainly there are many that are not. Rifkin's Festival is largely a dud (as are several others). But he's entitled to some duds in that life's work, when he has several movie that are, of course, brilliant.
His movies are such masterpieces that's why the French like his movies, they like quality over blockbusters, and I feel truly sad that in the country of free speech and freedom of expression his movies should not be banned over allegations that have already been disproved by the law. Why should American cinemas have the right to make there own law.
actually, he was proven guilty thanks to many witnesses and dna on dylan's underwear, but the judge and the state attorney on the case didn't want to take this case on trial for dylan's well-being. they didn't want her to have to relive the terrible memories so they dismissed the case. he also changed his version of the story twice, when dylan never did from the moment she spoke up about the abuse. he is guilty, as proven in court, but people think his talent is more important than children's safety. this movie was great, but i believe the treatment he gets from medias is completely justified.
@@ambretabassomi2854 There was no "DNA on Dylan's underwear." I've never heard that in my life.

I started getting into Woody Allen’s films like ten years ago and I truly enjoy them. A rainy day in NY was specially great. Loved it, the script, direction, and the music.. oh the music! Long live Woody Allen!
The movie that motivated me to love Woody Allen's cinema was "Blue Jasmine". Since that film I discover his quality, and his good eye to cast the right actors for every role, and that movie Cate Blanchett did one of her greatest performances I've ever seen in my life. About Woody's lastest movie, is A rainy day in New York a good movie to watch?
Exactly! But I didn't enjoy Rainy Day in New York.
It has good elements, looks good, but the story and characters are bad, badly written. Would make a great music video.
He's private life is out of my business, I just enjoy the mind of a genius.
@Theresa L. Dowling I know another crime that is very harmful to society and the mental health of victims. The crime is called 'falsely alleging your ex-partner of sexual abuse'. This crime is most often committed in situations of ugly divorces and bitter custody battles. In other words: exactly the situation Mia Farrow and Woody Allen were in.
Thankfully, we also pay for a legal system in which people are to be protected from false allegations.
@Theresa L. Dowling Hello Theresa, I really would that you present relevant arguments, rather than point at your own assumed eminence, and instruct me to go see & do anything for some unknown reason.
If you don't have any relevant arguments, than it's O.K. too. We just conclude our little disagreement. Which I've won.
@Theresa L. Dowling No Theresa, that is no way to discuss. Go send people off to do your homework for you.
You are evidently out of arguments. Then talk about my 'stinky butt', an 'idiot' and 'fool'.
You could not have demonstrated in a better way that you have lost this discussion big time. Don't let your parents read this, they might feel ashamed of your bad manners.
@Theresa L. Dowling Yes, just like victims of FALSE abuse allegations need to be protected by society, because the crime of FALSELY alleging someone of child sexual abuse is heinous, totally damaging, and do not remain to be 'private' either. These crimes deserve to be prosecuted by tax dollars either.
So this argument has no weight in the debate over Allen's or Mia's guilt or innocence.
@Theresa L. Dowling More empty words from you. Who are you trying to impress?
You didn't present a single factual, verifiable argument. And you know it.
I respect the me too movement. They are all valid issues. The french have always had to me a more realistic outlook on life. Americans have always had a puritanical outlook on life in general.
I'd love to hear more about this, because I have mixed feelings about it too. What are some of the ways you see the French as having a more realistic outlook on life?
The me too movement is a joke.
I totally agree, Skip.

Great writing. Either very funny or very haunting. Great cast members and Woody showing us his take on relationships culture and life. Woody Allen is a genius!!!

I just watched a lengthy 1987 interview with Woody, and the contrast here is startling. He sounds very different now, like he's had a mini stroke or something. His voice and manner of speech is altered from what I'm used to. His mind seems as sharp as ever though.

@@di9403 I know it's strange but this is a dysfunctional family that has so many problems.

I’m excited to see his new one Coup De Chance. Looks great!!!
Love Woody, you're my hero.
You love a garbage person
@@ammyroman3725 Just stating the facts
@@ammyroman3725 No, I think he's a garbage person because he was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein
@@bobbyadams8889 So was Donald Trump, despite his insistence they weren't, yet I don't see you talking negatively about him.
I love Woody Allen and his films! I m sorry he has to go through these things...
I don't believe rumours, just legal convictions.
@Theresa L. Dowling And I think you're an idiot. There. Shall we go on?...
Theresa L. Dowling the irony of reading your wife beater comment about Johnny Depp now that we know she was the abuser. Do you see how you’re a moron with no understand of nuance? That maybe crazy people exist and make false allegations?
Amazing director 🙌🏼
love woody. An American original responsible for some flawless American classics that won't ever be out done.
Love you Woody, always will.
The release in Spain will be one day before my birthday. Many people would consider it like a present. However I consider that the really true present is having enough money and free time to concern about going to the movies.
In USA, they don't like a true film maker who says true things.
Aude no I think it’s pedophiles they don’t like
@@ericg1100 He's not a pedophile.
@Stephen Smith Yeah sure, let's equate a guy who was accused by multiple people of running an underage sex trafficking ring not to mention actually arrested for it with the guy who was accused ONCE by his ex-wife during a messy divorce in which 2 of the other children and the nanny say they were pressured into agreeing that the crime took place.
@@CraigBickerstaff He is.
@Stephen Smith hahahahaha
I do hope his work is remembered because it really is brilliant. Dozens of artists have had controversial personal lives: Chaplin, Sinatra, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Bowie, MJ, Polanski, Spacey, Louis CK etc. but they still made amazing work that brought happiness to a lot of people’s lives. Artists are humans and humans are capable of doing BOTH very good and very bad things.
Ha! He asked Woody Allen if he's anxious! Duh.
Woody Allen is a genius
I think it is great that he can still write and make films at 83.
Regardless of whether Woody Allen’s film is released or not in the U.S. doesn’t matter, I really like his consistent work ethic at his age. I’m going to watch his new film and seek out his other films. It’s sad that the U.S. environment right now is stuck in a anti-male stasis, wanting to punish American men at the expense of selfish American women. I like Allen’s response about working in Hollywood. “...I could care less, I never worked in Hollywood, I work in New York.” He’s also appears to not have to be concerned about selling exclusively in the U.S. market. That’s real luxury! Awesome 👏🏾
Well, punishing a pedophile doesn't seem too selfish.
Holly Stiener, so he’s been convincted???
@@Sheppesh No But He was the best friend with
Jeffrey Epstein
Oh boo. Was America anti-woman until now because in the past and now women have been getting used and abused with no repercussions for some of these dudes. The pendulum has swung because of the one sidedness. Hopefully, we can learn and eventually it will right itself a bit but the nature of the crime makes it so hard to get to the truth. There is nothing selfish about wanting to out a sexual abuser.
@@Sheppesh Do you mean convicted? A lot of pedophiles don't get convicted. You've got conflicting witnesses and how do you have evidence when a kid doesn't come out when there might have been physical evidence? We all know that R Kelly did it and yet he's roamed free for decades. Sadly, no conviction is not actual proof of innocence only proof that the courts couldn't tie up the loose ends.
Watched it last night, what a picture! Its so enjoyable and fun, just the way it feels like when I listen to Jazz. Bravo mr. Allen!!
I don't know what the truth is relating to the alleged allegations against Woody. What I do know however, is that Soon-Yi and Woody's adopted son, Moses Farrow tell a vastly different story than Dylan and Ronan do. They didn't get an Op-Ed or HBO series telling their side though. It seems that was a luxury only afforded to the white Farrow children.
Genius. Genius. Genius.
@BLUE DOG you're the sort of person who accuses people and claims they are guilty without a trial, the accusations did not even reach trial as the experts found there was not enough evidence, and some even stated that he was innocent.
@BLUE DOG Dog, dog, dog. Get out of here.
Woody Allen just like Leonard Cohen . They were more appreciated in Europe than in North America . Their style is so much more European than American .I'm from Europe ,living in America . I can easy see that
Leonard Cohen was Canadian.
@@nomiddlenamenmn427 He was born in the city where I live - Montreal ,it is still in North America !😉
@@miriamzajfman4305 Greetings, Miriam. Gorgeous city with interesting, kind people. Can’t speak to Leonard’s European style (never having visited Europe), but he was a musical genius and is deeply loved - almost reverentially - by plenty of Americans and Canadians whom I know to love. Just curious - do you ever go by the nickname of Mimi? Miriam and Mimi are two of my favorite names. Wish I knew more of each. Thank you!
@@nomiddlenamenmn427 He did visit Europe on many occasions !
His mother was Russian ,his father parents were European as well. My real name is Marzenna (polish )😉
@@miriamzajfman4305 Oh, I meant I haven’t visited Europe .... yet! I want to visit. Beautiful name.
I think I get Woody. He does what he loves and shares it with us with the hope that it entertains us and maybe even gets us to think. If not, there is always his next work.
It's Saturday 2,April 2022 And Actor Wood Allen is a Legend And I have a Couple of favorite Movies "Take the Money and Run" & "Bananas" from 1971 The Scene where his Character buys Nudie Magazines is so True Because It was Me back in the early 80s Thank You Woody Allen #France24 #Fan
I was able to stream the film online. Wouldn't rank it among his best but it's certainly entertaining, with some funny and romantic moments. Elle Fanning is a delight in this one. Find a way to see it, it's worthwhile.
No thanks, i dont support child molesters
Love Woody's movies. Wish could see his latest.
He's the greatest, simple as that.
An American treasure, love this guy so much.
An International treasure. We love you, Woody!
I love Woody Allen movies.
I don´t know about his life personal and it´s not our business.
When his own daughter publicly states he molested her, then it's public business and a legal matter which hasn't been resolved.
He married his daughter and he had close ties to Jeffrey Epstein
Only if white people had that mentality about black people.
@@davidsirmons She wasn't his daughter. Andre Previn was her adoptive father. Mia had 14 children, most adopted . Sunyi hardly knew Allen and was not treated kindly by Mia. She was 21 or 22 when she became involved with Allen and at 48 is still married to him. They have 2 children.
@Mas Gonderawi I don't understand the last sentence in bold. I don't believe he is a pedophile based on Moses Farrow's testimony about Mia's lies and abuse of her children. My surname is the 5th most common surname in Germany it was my great grandfather's surname he was a Lutheran fyi you racist
Woody's films convey a deep joy to me.
I love, admire and support Woody! The greatest. My hero. Woody's films make life better!
Comedy genius. I still love his early films the best.
I love the guy and his films but why do old men always start wearing beige?
He always has worn those colors.
This censure of the movie might actually become great publicity
I have only one thing to say.
THE SOUND OF FREEDOM...
Just saw it yesterday in Brazil, great movie. Elle Fanning is charming.
