Do you know what made Woody Allen, a truly New Yorker, start to choose Europe as background to his movies? In his own words: "Manhattan is too expensive nowadays". Yes, this week in a press conference, Woody said that he chose to film the movies "You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger” in London, “Vicky, Christina, Barcelona” in Barcelona and “Midnight in Paris” in Paris – all Europe because in addition to being cheaper, the continent is more connected to art.
* Besides, he added that the North-American cinema industry is more and more interested only on profit , and with that, the lack of creativity is a problem. Have Woody given up on his birth city once for all? And would it be a good choice? Only time will tell.
