Let’s address the elephant in the room first: Woody Allen hasn’t made a great film in years. Opinions vary enormously, of course, on which one was the last top-notch effort: Some would go to bat for, say Blue Jasmine (2013), while others defend Match Point (2005). Many others reckon that Husbands and Wives (1992) was the last gasp of greatness before it all started going bumpily downhill.
And of course there are those, especially among younger filmgoers who didn’t grow up with Allen as a kind of mascot for American East Coast Jewish identity, who just don’t get what the fuss was ever about — and/or why the olds so want to defend someone who has been accused by his daughter Dylan Farrow of sexual abuse, even if charges were never brought against him.
Oh yeah, that’s another elephant, isn’t it?
That last controversy may not put...

Julia Louis-Dreyfus doesn’t have time for fake compliments in her latest comedy.
The “Veep” Emmy winner collaborates again with “Enough Said” filmmaker Nicole Holofcener, with new film “You Hurt My Feelings” marking Holofcener’s first original feature in a decade.
“You Hurt My Feelings” centers on a novelist (Louis-Dreyfus) whose long standing marriage is suddenly upended when she overhears her husband give his honest reaction to her latest book. Tobias Menzies stars as Louis-Dreyfus’ onscreen partner who works as a therapist.
Owen Teague, Michaela Watkins, and Arian Moayed also star, with cameos by Amber Tamblyn, David Cross, and Zach Cherry.
Writer-director Holofcener immediately pictured Louis-Dreyfus in the main role, as she exclusively told IndieWire during the film’s 2023 Sundance premiere.
“I knew how brilliantly she’d do this. If I was wondering if this was too sappy or too silly, I was like, ‘No. It’s going to work out.

Woody Allen might still be persona non grata for many in the U.S., but international distributors will likely be clamoring to see his new film, Coup de Chance, which will be presented to buyers at the upcoming European Film Market.
WestEnd Films, in collaboration with Gravier Productions, will kick off sales for the film in Berlin next week.
Allen’s 50th feature marks the director’s French-language debut and features an ensemble cast of local stars, including Lou De Laâge (The Innocents), Valérie Lemercier (Aline), Melvil Poupaud (Summer of 85) and Niels Schneider (Heartbeats).
In a statement, Allen called the the movie a “story of romance, passion and violence set in contemporary Paris. Shot all over the city and a little bit in the countryside, it evolves around a romance between two young people who are old friends and devolves into marital infidelity and ultimately crime.”

A witty comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a novelist trying to find success with her sophomore book, “You Hurt My Feelings” reunites Alisa Lepselter with writer-director Nicole Holofcener, whose directorial debut, “Walking and Talking”, was also Lepselter’s first feature editing credit.

Seeing a Woody Allen movie in 2022 is, it seems fair to say, a curious experience. Those who believe you can’t separate the art from the artist will find copious proof in his latest movie, “Rifkin’s Festival.” But, of course, they’re unlikely to watch it. Those who still celebrate the artist might watch it, but they won’t find much in the way of art.
For his 49th feature film, Allen returns to a well that is not so much dry as desiccated. The movie opens with Wallace Shawn as our Allen doppelgänger, Mort Rifkin. Mort, an anxious former professor, is also a dedicated cinephile and self-defined intellectual who spends the next hour-and-a-half complaining vociferously to his analyst.
He’s reminiscing about a troubled trip to Spain’s San Sebastián Film Festival, which he recently took with his publicist wife, Sue (Gina Gershon). “Film festivals are no longer what they were,...

No one could reasonably expect that Woody Allen's 47th film Café Society would be some enormous trend-breaking statement, somehow pointing the way to the next 47 films. His movies are mixed up in nostalgia and romance and the self-perpetuating critical discussion about each new one, which has come along once every year for at least the last three decades, is of whether or not it's a return to form or evidence of a decline.
His breakthrough hits of the last decade, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Midnight In Paris and Blue Jasmine, are elevated into the former category, but most everything else seems to get dismissed as a cinematic fixture. If you've been a fan or viewer for any length of time, it's a bit like going to the same barber, getting the same annual haircut and hearing the same stories about the same preoccupations and neuroses.

Editor's Note: Below is a reprint of an interview conducted with Woody Allen's longtime editor Alisa Lepselter, by Matthew Steigbigel for The Credits. After working as an Assistant Editor on movies for the likes of Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, and getting her break cutting features for Nora Ephron and Nicole Holofcener, Editor Alisa Lepselter, A.C.E. got the job of a lifetime cutting Woody Allen’s "Sweet and Lowdown" (1999). Fifteen years later she is on her fifteenth collaboration with Allen for his newest movie, "Blue Jasmine," which opens on Friday. We caught up with Lepselter to speak to her about her career and her work with the legendary director. You’ve been working with Woody Allen as editor since "Sweet and Lowdown" (1999). What’s your work process with him like and has it changed at all over time? Not that much has changed, in that because...

I guess I could look at the win last night from the American Cinema Editors (Ace) for The Descendants for Best Editing in a dramatic feature as a sign we may still have an upset at the Oscars, but I think that would be overstepping my bounds. I will, however, say I think it shows The Descendants is a stronger #2 candidate for Best Picture than Hugo is as The Artist remains the clear front-runner in the Best Picture category as it also won last night for Best Editing in a comedy or musical. In the lackluster animation category Rango took the win over Puss in Boots and The Adventures of Tintin where, I guess, we could have seen Tintin win, but I'm having a hard time mustering up any kind of passion one way or another to really care. The Ace winners are listed below along with the other nominees.

Like every entertainment guild or union there is an awards show to recognize the year’s best in narrative film, documentary, and television. We’ve already seen various guilds nominate the best in producing, directing, and writing, now we have the Eddie Awards from the American Cinema Editors (Ace). There aren’t any big surprises on this list, The Descendants, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Hugo, and Young Adult all made the list.
But looking at the list below, I noticed that the guild has separated the movies into their own categories; so that one movie genre isn’t overlooked.

Each year American Cinema Editors [1] (Ace) recognizes the best editing of the year in narrative film, documentary and television through the Eddie Awards. The nominations for achievement in 2011 have been released [2]. They include a couple of expected films such as Hugo and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and feature a couple other inclusions that might count as surprises to some. The full list is below. This list comes from the Ace press release about this year's Eddies. In this case, I like that there are feature film categories for dramatic and comedy/musical efforts; not that editing one or the other is more difficult, but editing is such a core component of comedy and musical films, and one that so often goes unheralded and even unexamined, that it deserves a moment in the sun. Looking at the documentary selections, I was at first disappointed not to see Senna included,...

The editors have spoken. Though editing is an artform that greatly fascinates me I nearly always take issue with the Ace nominations. More than most craftsmen, the editors in the guild and in Oscar's editing branch seem to just pick their favorite Best Picture contenders every year even in cases where the editing might not be anywhere close to its strongest element. I understand why people love Hugo for example -- I really do despite my protestations -- but even though I think Thelma Schoonmaker is one of the most gifted editors who ever walked the earth, her work on Hugo is not up to her general (very high) standards. I've discussed this with Nick several times so I know I wasn't imagining it. We were both flabbergasted at the amount of shot / reverse shots where the children just sort of stare at each other blankly in scene after scene.

The 62nd annual Ace Eddie Awards have announced their nominees this year for the best in editing. Last year, The Social Network team of Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter rightfully won the top award, while Exit Through the Gift Shop picked it up for documentary. Out of the noms below, I’d love to see Thelma Schoonmaker pick it up for Hugo, mostly due to the last third of the film or Kevin Tent’s fitting relaxed tone on The Descendants. As for Moneyball and War Horse, outside of some well put-together sequences, both felt overlong and thus undeserving of the award. Same goes for Werner Herzog‘s Cave of Forgotten Dreams, whereas David Tedeschi’s George Harrison: Living in the Material World runs almost four hours and has excellent pacing. Check out all the noms below.

Photo: Columbia Pictures Best Film Editing is quite the important category when it comes to predicting the Best Picture winner (read more about why right here) and the American Cinema Editors' Ace Eddie Awards are a good way to begin evaluating the category and today they announced their 2012 nominees and there are certainly some things to discuss. In 2006-2008, before the Academy began nominating ten films for Best Picture, only three films -- The Reader (2008), Atonement (2007) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) -- were nominated for Best Picture that were not nominated by the American Cinema Editors. When the Academy bumped it up to ten nominees over the last two years only three films each year missed the cut, which is saying something considering only 13 films are nominated in three different categories each year. So what will this year's crop of contenders tell us?...

hollywoodnews.com: The American Cinema Editors announced their nominations for the 62nd Annual Ace Eddie Awards Monday morning, recognizing outstanding editing in nine categories of film, television and documentaries.
Like the Golden Globes, the editors divide their films between “Dramatic” and “Comedic” categories, so its tough to peg how (or if) they play into the five Oscar nomination slots. At the very least, you can guess that the Academy’s five nominees will come from the five features listed below.
Winners will be revealed during Ace’s 62nd annual black-tie awards ceremony on Saturday, February 18, 2012 in the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. As previously announced, the ceremony will be hosted by actor/comedian Patton Oswalt.

I watched some movies last week at the cinema that fit like clothing, one at the New York Film Festival (Clint Eastwood's Hereafter, which opens today), one now playing in theaters (Woody Allen's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger). These clothes were comfortable, worn in, relaxed from constant use. Hereafter was the loose one, a sweater stretched out from early, more vigorous use which now moves naturally with the roominess of a droopy garment. The sense above all is of no need for energy, for cheeriness; there's a resignation to the film, you try it on for size and it sort of drapes down on your frame, airy and breathable but the thick, sentimental threads strain, close to shapeless, to touch the ground; there's an inevitably to the fabric's pull. (It's no mistake Eastwood is starting to work with Matt Damon, an actor whose clothing fit you are always aware of,...

When it comes to behind the scenes contributions to movies, I have two regular fascinations: costume design and editing. I love costume design for easy to define reasons: it augments movie stars, it's visually interesting, it can define characters. Editing is fascinating for far more mysterious reasons. For one thing, we can't really see the results. It's like a phantom craft. I mean we see the cuts in a movie but we don't know what was cut, when or how the rhythm and emotion of the scene shifted based on the decisions made. We only see the end result. For all we know a movie that seems merely Ok to us may have the best editing of the year. They say movies are often made in the editing room, so if an editor takes terrible raw materials and pulls an Ok movie from it we will only recognize the Ok movie,...
