Woody Allen had many ups and down in his long and prolific career. At the start of 21st Century the latter seemed to be the norm, making Allen himself to declare that he was “mediocre”, that there were very few films he was truly pleased with and that the favour of the audience, the true measure of film success, usually eluded him. Those who had watched Allen’s films in 1990s and first half of 2000s usually found li…More

The film Match Point, in which the luck factor is explained with such a thin line, was a good choice in terms of showing h…More
Woody Allen es uno de mis directores preferidos. Recuerdo en mi juventud el impacto que causó “Dos extraños amantes”. Una película de la que todos hablaban por lo novedoso de su enfoque. A mis amigos y a mí nos resultaban geniales cosas tan sencillas como poner a los personajes a hablar directamente a la cámara, tal como si estuvieran conversando con el espectador, esa forma de involucrar al que está del otro lado d…More
I am not normally a fan of Woody Allen. In fact, I generally avoid his films. However, my wife was interested in Match Point , which features a couple of actors (Matthew Goode, Emily Moritmer and Scarlett Johansson) that I like. So I took the opportunity to reassess my appreciation for Woody Allen films and found this film to be a gem that was worth my two hour investment. Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is a te…More
