An interview with two New York Giants.
New York Times
I watched a documentary about Woody Allen the other night, a two-parter on BBC, it was really fascinating. The guy is most likely a genius, so many ideas tumbling out of his clown's head. He was interviewed, his sister, a cast of modern great actors, so many of them, who worked with him and described his process. Martin Scorsese was interviewed too, and tellingly, he said that Woody's New York is a foreign country to him. His NY is Mean Streets and Taxi Driver, not existential comedic routines. Both are marvelous, however, truly great directors.
And Woody writes his films, acts in them and edits them. One movie a year for almost half a century.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading the interview above. It's actually more a chat between them. No real sparring. Just shop talk, actually, the kind of thing goes down in every single business in the world...
