Woody Allen is back.

46 feature films later, Woody Allen is back. After watching two good stories destroyed by lousy directing, Into The Forest and Captain Fantastic, finally I find another sophisticatedly made film worth recommending. Cafe Society is probably the best Woody Allen film after Match Point. He is back in New York (and LA) to tell a story about love, death & human nature. It is not Annie Hall or Manhanton, which probably cannot be remade in NY, but the Woody Allen spirit I really like is back, maybe because the investment and freedom given by a non-traditonal studio, Amazon. This is the first Woody Allen film Amazon Stuido ordered, with a bunch of TV series/film to follow. Truly an interesting time for the film industry in the age of Neflix , Hulu and beige watching. At end of the day, "Cotent is the king".More Woody Allen films like this one, please!

    [Shanghai Film Festival Screening] I was fortunate to see the Asian premiere of this film and asked the producer two questions. The movie is still very Woody Allenfan. The chatter is full of humor, sweetness, and cleverness, as well as a pile of names that fall out of a book bag. Photography and color grading are comfortable. The plot is very clichéd, but it is beautifully shot, and the ending is unexpectedly calm and warm, and it stops abruptly and has endless aftertastes. The curly hair is cute and cute, but the acting is mediocre. Corey Stoll is charming and dashing

    Three-and-a-half, play normal Woody Allen, outstanding in photography and fine art. Curly hair is really suitable for Woody's film, the first half of the words are chattering and declining, and once again the feeling of being possessed by the old man. Little K is very beautiful, and I have posted a lot of studio photos before. Emotional entanglement and funny irony, overall it is still a relaxed love sketch. In addition, it is the reappearance of that era and the short story of the Jewish family. The Hollywood star is the same as the name of the dish.

Café Society quotes

  • Rose Dorfman: First a murderer, and now a Christian!

  • Rose Dorfman: First a murderer, then he becomes a Christian. What did I do to deserve this? Which is worse?

    Marty Dorfman: He explained it to you. The Jews don't have an afterlife.

    Rose Dorfman: We are all afraid of dying, Marty! But we don't give up the religion we are born into.

    Marty Dorfman: I'm not afraid to die.

    Rose Dorfman: You're too stupid to appreciate the implications.

    Marty Dorfman: I didn't say I like the idea. And I will resist death with everything I have. But when the Angel of Death comes to cut me down, I'll go. I'll protest. I'll curse. You hear me? I will go under protest.

    Rose Dorfman: Protest to who? What the hell are you gonna do? Write a letter to the Times?

    Marty Dorfman: I will protest in silence.
