I always have such conflict when writing about Woody Allen. On one hand, I enjoy a good 90% of his films. On the other hand, he left long time girlfriend, Mia Farrow, for her adopted teenaged daughter whom he helped raise. It’s like, how can I stand behind you even though I think “Midnight in Paris” is really dope.
However, every so often Woody Allen makes it really easy for me to say “Man, fuck your film making, you’re a goddamn, self-centered idiot. You’re like a little white, Jewish, nebbish, Kanye West. But a Kanye West nonetheless.” His recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter made me feel this way.
