Woody Allen, The Age of Passion

Director Woody Allen's difficult times continue. Kate Winslet, the famous actress who played the heroine in ``The Wonder Wheel '' (2017), recently gave an interview to the American magazine ``Vanity Fair'' and said, ``He and director Roman Polanski... I now regret appearing in that movie.''

According to the interview, Kate appeared in the film thinking that she would be able to work with talented directors, and was also impressed by their work style, but on the other hand, due to the #ME TOO movement that occurred after she appeared in the film, It made him think about a lot of things, and he says he thinks, ``I shouldn't have appeared on the show right now.''

"Wonder Wheel" preview

Allen has been accused of sexually abusing a young child (Mia Farrow's adopted daughter Dylan), and Polanski has been accused of having a sexual relationship with a minor, the latter of which he himself admitted. Allen has consistently denied the charges. In the critical biography of Allen, ``Woody'' (Kinema Junposha), which I translated, the author, David Evanier, examines the entire incident, and when suspicion arises and he denies the charges, Allen is tested using a lie detector. It is written that he even took it (the result was Shiro).

There is also a theory that this series of suspicions was caused by Mia's brainwashing of her adopted daughter Dylan, and the author of the book also adopts this theory (I will omit the details as it is too long).

Despite his suspicions, Allen was turned away by the American film industry. However, in September, his new film ``Rifkin's Festival'' (2020), which he shot with Spanish capital, was screened as the opening film of the San Sebastian Film Festival, and he made a bullish statement, ``I have no intention of stopping making films.'' He once filmed `` Still in Love with Barcelona '' (2008) in Spain, and there is even a bronze statue of Allen in this country.

Originally, Allen had a strong European orientation, and this new work also features European actors such as Oscar-winning actor Christoph Waltz and Louis Garrel (son of director Philippe Garrel, who also appeared in `` Story of My Life' ' (1919)). The actors are appearing.

Although Allen has entered a period of hardship, he is by no means ``vulnerable'' as he was raised in a Jewish family with a history of persecution. I would like to pay attention to what will happen in the future.
