Caf? Society (2016, )

By Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 8, 2016 From The Stop Button

opens Caf? Society himself, with a voiceover. It’s a deeper voice mix than usual for Allen–who doesn’t appear in the film–and even though he’s doing expository narration, there’s an intentional distance in that deeper voice. Allen’s not the star ... Read full article

By Jennifer Garlen on May 14, 2013 From Virtual Virago

I've had New York on my mind quite a bit lately. It started, I think, with a viewing of 's Manhattan (1979), a movie in which the protagonist is more in love with the city than he is with any of the women in his life.
