I didn't even pay attention to the fact that I was starting this cinema blog the very same day Woody Allen would attend for the first time a movie premiere with a "normal audience" (meaning we paid our tickets like any other normal show).So this funny little guy came before the film and told us (in french, please ! ^^) how grateful he was to France, and how hungry he was (totally normal for an American in Paris !). That wasn't much, but there merely wasn't much to say as we hadn't seen his new film yet. ^^
He was accompanied by the freshly returned from a masterpiece (Aronofsky's "The Wrestler") actress Evan Rachel Wood, for the first time in a leading role of a comedy. It's the second time she's been playing in a movie about the Myth of Pygmalion (after Andrew Niccol's "S1m0ne"), might it be linked to her character ?
The movie itself was a good "regular" Woody Allen movie, with very funny sarcastic scenes about misanthropy and entropy. As far as I remember it's the first time, since he was elected, that I hear a joke in an american movie about Barack Obama being president. It was good to see Jessica Hecht which we in France know only thanks to TV series like "Friends" and the movie "Dan in real life" which was on screen last year here.
