Woody Allen

Inspired by Tennessee Williams' Streetcar Named Desire, Woody Allen creates a harrowing portrait of a woman in decline and leads Kate Blanchett in a monumental performance that earned her a well-deserved Academy Award for Best Actress. — A wealthy New Yorker in emotional and psychological crisis tries to rebuild her life from scratch after the dissolution of her marriage and having lost her entire fortune. She moves into the home of her socially inferior sister, but it doesn't take long for problems to arise. — Best Actress (Cate Blanchett) | Oscars | 2014 Nomination for Best Original Screenplay | Oscars | 2014 Best Actress (Cate Blanchett) | BAFTA | 2014 Best Actress (Cate Blanchett) | Golden Globes | 2014

Woody Allen's late-period masterpiece, a story straight from the pages of Fyodor Dostoevsky, a fascinating study in crime, punishment and the amoral indifference of the universe we live in. — A social climber and ambitious tennis teacher marries the sister of a London aristocrat while maintaining an illicit affair with the latter's fiancee. When his mistress gets pregnant, the decisions he will make will be disastrous. — Nomination for Best Original Screenplay | Oscars | 2006 Nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Scarlet Johansson) | Golden Globes | 2006 Nomination for Best Director | Golden Globes | 2006 Best European Film | Goya Awards | 2006

In his second film in London, after the beloved Match Point, Woody Allen once again puts Scarlett Johansson at the centre of a mystery comedy that combines the filmmaker's trademark humour with his concerns (and, more importantly, his phobias) about mortality. — When an American journalism student in London attends the show of a magician called Waterman, she is visited by the ghost of a famous journalist, revealing that the amiable aristocrat Peter Lyman is in fact a serial killer. Immediately she, along with Waterman, takes it upon herself to get a press scoop.

After four films in Europe, Woody Allen returns to his familiar New York grounds and scores almost instantly with yet another film that delightfully condenses his worldview, packed with sharp wit and unforgettable lines. — A cranky and sharp-witted misanthrope meets a young and unexpectedly optimistic girl from the American South, who has fled to New York in search of a better life.

Hilarious, self-revealing, complex and at times dark Woody Allen, takes Bergman's “Wild Strawberries” as his main influence, fills it with an all-star cast and creates some of the most successful skits of his career. — Harry receives an invitation to attend his old college, from which he was expelled, to be honored for his life's work. This invitation flatters him but also scares him. He tries to find friends to accompany him to this event but almost everyone is angry at the way he presents them in his books. — Best Original Screenplay | Oscars | 1998

Who is scamming the scammers? With his trademark humour and constant lack of faith in people, Woody Allen crafts an impeccable mystery comedy and - at the same time - a sharp class satire. — A small-time crook plans to rob a bank, but in the meantime he becomes rich thanks to his wife's cookies! The latter, overcome by the madness of grandeur, asks an art dealer to introduce her to the ways of high society, not suspecting that he is a big-time crook. — Nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Tracey Ullman) | Golden Globes | 2001

In a delightful tribute to his favourite film noir, Woody Allen weaves with his trademark humour a mystery comedy that takes us back to the American cinema of the 1940s. — In 1940s New York, an insurance company detective who claims to have never missed a case falls victim to a hypnotist and unknowingly commits a series of thefts, for which he then investigates to find the culprit

An appreciative, festival-friendly addition to Woody Allen's "european films", set this time in the enchanting San Sebastián and its local film festival, which serves as a breeding ground for humorous stories arising from the anxieties and neuroses of its protagonists. — Intellectual Mort Rifkin accompanies his wife Sue to Spain's prestigious San Sebastian Film Festival, worried about her falling out with young director Philippe. While Sue is passionately involved with the charming Philippe, Mort meets the sweet Dr. Rojas and something inside him changes. A mood to review life through the power of classic cinema rekindles Mort's hope for the future.
