Kolahtaako Woody Allenin leffat?

Jotkut on hyviä ja jotkut taas ihan nolostuttavan huonoja. Tykkään Annie Hallista ja esim. Deconstructing Harry on loistava.

Around 1980, Allen began a relationship with actress Mia Farrow, who had leading roles in most of his movies from 1982 to 1992. Farrow and Allen never married and kept separate homes.[113] They adopted two children, Dylan Farrow (who changed her name to Eliza and is now known as Malone) and Moshe Farrow (known as Moses); they also had one biological child, Satchel Farrow (known as Ronan Seamus Farrow). However, in a 2013 interview with Vanity Fair, Farrow stated that Ronan could "possibly" be the biological child of her first husband Frank Sinatra, with whom she claims to have "never really split up."[114]

Allen did not adopt any of Farrow's other family, including Soon-Yi Farrow Previn (adopted daughter of Farrow and André Previn, now known as Soon-Yi Previn). Allen and Farrow separated in 1992, after Farrow discovered nude photographs that Allen had taken of Soon-Yi, who was around 20 years old then.[115][116] In her autobiography, What Falls Away (New York: Doubleday, 1997), Farrow says that Allen admitted to a relationship with Soon-Yi.[117]

After Allen and Farrow separated, a long public legal battle for the custody of their three children began. During the proceedings, Farrow alleged that Allen had sexually molested their adopted daughter Dylan, who was then seven years old. The judge eventually found that the sex abuse charges were inconclusive.[118] He called the report of the team that investigated the issue "sanitized and therefore, less credible."[119] Farrow won custody of their children. Allen was denied visitation rights with Malone and could see Ronan only under supervision. Moses, who was then 14, chose not to see Allen.[119]

In a 2005 Vanity Fair interview,[120] Allen estimated that, despite the scandal's damage to his reputation, Farrow's discovery of Allen's attraction to Soon-Yi Previn by finding nude photographs of her was "just one of the fortuitous events, one of the great pieces of luck in my life. . . It was a turning point for the better." Of his relationship with Farrow, he said, "I'm sure there are things that I might have done differently. . . Probably in retrospect I should have bowed out of that relationship much earlier than I did." In a June 22, 2011 report, Reuters quoted Allen as saying, "What was the scandal? I fell in love with this girl, married her. We have been married for almost 15 years now. There was no scandal, but people refer to it all the time as a scandal and I kind of like that in a way because when I go I would like to say I had one real juicy scandal in my life."[121]

Soon-Yi Previn[edit]

After ending his relationship with Mia Farrow in 1992, Allen continued his relationship with Soon-Yi Previn. Though Allen never married Mia Farrow[113][122] and was not Previn's legal stepfather, the relationship between Allen and Previn has often been referred to as a stepfather involved romantically with his stepdaughter[123] because she was adopted and legally Farrow's daughter and Allen's son's sister. In 1991, New York Times opined on Allen's family life: "Few married couples seem more married. They are constantly in touch with each other, and not many fathers spend as much time with their children as Allen does."[113]

In 1991, when the relationship began, Allen was 56 and Previn around 19. Asked whether their age difference was conducive to "a healthy, equal relationship," Allen said equality is not necessarily a requirement in a relationship and "The heart wants what it wants. There's no logic to those things. You meet someone and you fall in love, and that's that."[124] The couple married in 1997.[125]

Ronan Farrow is widely quoted as disparaging Allen and having said he cannot see him. On Father's Day 2012, he tweeted "Happy Father's day – or as they call it in my family, happy brother-in-law's day."[126]

Previn and Allen have two adopted daughters, Bechet Dumaine (born c. 1999, China) and Manzie Tio (born 2000, Texas).

Joo. Woody Allen itse herättää kyllä ristiriitaisia tunteita ja hänestä tullut dokkarikin antoi jotenkin friikin kuvan (hänen oli esimerkiksi pakko saada matto jalkojensa alle kun kävi suihkussa).

Uudet elokuvat ovat kuitenkin olleet todella hienoja draamoja (Match Point, Vicky Christina Barcelona, Cassandra's dream).

Uusista ja vanhoista Allenin leffoista ei voi oikein puhua samana päivänä. Annie Hall ja Manhattan ovat mahtavia mutta ne ovat kaikella tavoin ihan erilaisia kuin uusimmat elokuvat, aikakaudeltaan, teemoiltaan. En ole katsonut niitä höpöilyelokuvia mutta esimerkiksi Unikeko on sci-fi -tyyppinen komedia, hyvin 70-lukuinen ja hassu, enemmän campia. Allenin tuotanto ei ole siten mitenkään yhtenäistä vaan erilaisia pätkiä löytyy.

Karttelen Allenin leffoja tarkoituksella.. Sattui tapaturma ja kattelin Midnight in Parisin taannoin ja pidin leffasta, ihan perus romanttinenkomedia, mutta kovasti ärsytti riitelevän pariskunnan alleenmaisuus ja lopputeksteistä sitten selviskin, että Allen leffa se olikin. Sitten taas petyin, että mistä se kaikki vouhotus, eikö se jätkän pitäisi olla nero komedian saralla..

Kuitenkin peruin karttamisen kattelen joskus toistekin Allenia, mieluummin missä ei itse näyttele.

Uudet suurimmilta osin melkoista kuraulostetta, mutta vanhempi tuotanto melkoista helmikimalletta. Match Point sai minut vihaiseksi, Midnight in Paris viehätti. Manhattan, Annie Hall ja useat 80-luvun teokset ehdottomasti katselulistalle.

Taso ailahtelee niin pahasti. Ärsyttävähkö välillä, mutta muutamia helmiä myös matkassa.

Muhun kolahtaa! Match point, Midnight in Paris ja Vicky Christina Barcelona ainakin ovat tosi hyviä. Vanhempiin en ole pahemmin vielä tutustunut. Suosituksia? Tai muita samantyyppisiä leffoja eri ohjaajilta?

En periaatteessa katsoa lapsia käpälöivän miehen elokuvia.

Lapsia käpälöivä? Mistä lähtien?
