The Woody Allen Q and A about 2 years ago

1. Most of them.
2. Hannah and Her Sisters.
3. It’s an extremely rich, extremely human film. The screenplay is complex, yet never muddled. Crimes and Misdemeamors is up there, but it isn’t as empathetic and human as HAHS, and I think that’s the highest quality an artist can aspire to.
4. Anything Else. I don’t care what Quentin Tarantino thinks of it.
5. Weaker. It’s strange…. the older he gets, the more my family likes his films, and the less I can stand them.
6. To me, it’s Sweet and Lowdown. I’m a bit prejudiced, cuz I love guitar movies, but I think it’s also a warm, rich, sweet love story. Samantha Morton OWNS that film.
