After a long absence from the cinema, the director Woody Allen back with a movie “Chance Coup” (“Luck”), filmed entirely in France. He was in Venice festival promote it where said that this record could be the last of his career, and also called the “cancellation culture” something “stupid”.
In an interview with Elsa Keslassi For DiversityAllen, 87 noted that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to get money to finance his film projects.: “I have so many ideas for films that I would be tempted to make them if they were easy to finance. But beyond that, I don’t know if I have the same desire to go out and spend a lot of time earning money.
Two years ago, Woody’s daughter, Dylan Farrow, testified in a docu-series that the director had sexually abused her.a topic that Allen did not hesitate to comment on during the interview: “My reaction has always been the same. The situation was investigated by two people, two important bodies, not people, but two important investigative bodies. And both, after a long detailed investigation, came to the conclusion that these accusations are unfounded. Until now, he had not communicated with either Dylan or her brother. Ronan Farrow.
Regarding the #MeToo movement, Woody Allen has stated that he is its advocate.but also called “cancellation culture” (which ended the careers of several artists), sometimes “stupid”: “I think that any movement that brings real benefits, that does something positive, let’s say for women, is good. When it’s stupid, it’s stupid. It’s stupid when it’s not about a feminist issue or an injustice to women when it’s too extreme to try to make it an issue when most people wouldn’t find it any kind of offensive situation…It seems to me that if you are going to be canceled, this is the culture for which it is worth canceling the event. It all seems very stupid to me. I do not think about it. I don’t know what it means to be cancelled. I know that for many years everything was the same for me.
